‘Terriers’ Producers Want ‘Terriers’ Movie

At a recent event, producers Ted Griffin and Shawn Ryan addressed the question of reviving Terriers, their wonderful but tragically short-lived drama starring Donal Logue and Michael Raymond-James. The short answer is that they’ve talked about it — but the long answer is that they’ve have several hoops to jump through first.
Part noir mystery, part buddy comedy, part antihero drama, Terriers starred Logue as ex-cop and recovering alcoholic Hank Dolworth, and Raymond-James as his friend and partner, former career criminal Britt Pollack. (Despite the title, the series had nothing to do with actual terriers.) The show aired for just a single 13-episode season in 2010, but despite its poor ratings at the time Terriers has gained a cult following since its cancellation.
For their part, Logue and Raymond-James acknowledge they’ve thought about where their characters would have ended up. “Michael and I talk about it all the time,” said Logue. Raymond-James, who called into the panel, joked, “I’m Skyping you guys from some medium-security correctional facility that Britt’s been in these last six years.”
The team behind Terriers have spoken on and off over the years about their hopes for a Terriers return in some form or fashion. Ryan has floated the idea of producing a Terriers movie with Kickstarter funds, and in 2013 Logue told fans there was a “realistic chance” of Terriers coming back. As of now, though, it doesn’t sound like they’ve made much progress. If you’re a Terriers fan, by all means, keep your fingers crossed — crazier things have happened. But maybe don’t hold your breath.
