The Channel 4 sitcom, starring Simon Bird and Tom Rosenthal, will be adapted by The Office writer and director Greg Daniels, according to Deadline.
Daniels will apparently be executive producer of the remake alongside partner Howard Klein, British creator Robert Popper and UK production company Big Talk.
Debuting in February this year, Friday Night Dinner became Channel 4's highest-performing debut episode of a newly commissioned sitcom since 2004.
Friday Night Dinner is currently already broadcast in the US on BBC America on Saturdays at 11.30/10.30c.
