HBO to adapt 'Shameless' for US
Published Tuesday, Jan 6 2009, 06:46 GMT | By Michael Thornton

An American version of the series starring Woody Harrelson was originally proposed three years ago when creator Paul Abbott met with NBC. However, the project fell through.
HBO official Mike Lombardo acknowledged the challenge presented by the new adaptation, telling TBIvision: "We are developing a US version of Shameless with [The West Wing's] John Wells writing. [The question is] how do you move that show to America and not lose its essence?"
The UK version of the show has aired on BBC America and the Sundance Channel in the US.
