PUSHING DAISIES is desperately desired for a return according to fans!

Multi-award-winning cult TV dramedy series PUSHING DAISIES has been rumored to be finding a second life onstage some season soon and new momentum to the cause has been engendered this week by the cult series winning Esquire's TV Reboot Tournament.

PUSHING DAISIES scores the highest number of votes, clocking 265,690 votes total, while second place went to FIREFLY with 148,963.

Kristin Chenoweth celebrated the victory on Twitter, as well, posting several updates over the weekend, including, "thanks everyone!! Best show ever".

Last year, series star Anna Friel revealed, "[Creator] Bryan Fuller always talks about [a 'Pushing Daisies' reunion]... I saw Lee recently, which was just lovely. I miss him so much. And Bryan is such a doll ... I'd like to see that come together, whether as a Broadway show or we just have some kind of get-together and you get to see us kiss. I'd get to kiss Lee Pace!"

Directly addressing whether he would like to be involved in a stage version of PUSHING DAISIES, star Lee Pace opined last year, "I've always wanted to do a musical. Always been kind of curious about that. I can't let my career end without doing a musical. So I would, yeah. I'd totally be game for that. It sounds actually really fun. It'd be fun to get the band back together."

Also, Pace revealed, "Oh, we had so many musical episodes, so many songs in the show. It could be perfect. Can't you just imagine The Pie Hole on stage? Perfect, right?"

Additionally, original series producer Bruce Cohen commented on the prospective idea of a musical adaptation of the series to me last year as part of our InDepth InterView (available here), sharing, "That has always been a dream of the whole PUSHING DAISIES team - to do a musical version of it."

As for its development status, Cohen also related, "We will see what happens. There is no official plan yet, just a lot of people really wanting it to happen - but, that's how a lot of things get started."
