CBR has an article on the proposed Hitman TV show.
A very ba… i mean bold decision by the directors.

I’ve been looking forward to this show, and good to hear it’s not dead! It’s an interesting and bold decision, hoping it gets executed well as a fresh take on the character.

So they’re kind of implying he’s had his memory erased in the show, yes? As in, he doesn’t remember having the barcode tattooed underneath his hair? Or…is that he will see the tattoo and have a crisis because he just remembered it’s there?
I’m cautiously looking forward to this show if it ever happens. But it’s disappointing hearing they want to rewrite things. The movies rewrote a lot of things and ultimately it made them flop

Unfortunately this doesn’t give me a lot of optimism about how this show will approach the character. I don’t think a change in the back story is an inherently bad thing, but I’m worried the protagonist is going to be some charismatic yet brooding antihero and 47 in name only.
As far as the missions and hits themselves, I’m expecting something more along the lines of John Wick but a bit more creative, definitely incorporating a lot of accidents. Could be entertaining, just a bit of a shame its not the character and world we love.

This one seems to be the original:
Maybe they’ll do a build-up to where he shaves his head at the end of the season and puts on a suit and gloves.
I assume/hope that happens at the end of the first or second episode… i’m not sure I want to watch a whole season of faux-47 being “suave”.
Plot twist, the barcode ends with a 48 instead.

I would watch a show where each episode was just another mission for 47. They wouldn’t need character development, excessive plot, etc. TV today though has to be edgy with twists and cliffhangers and through lines that make things way too complicated.
