Bruce Campbell Says “It’s Time” for a Burn Notice Revival

Bruce Campbell Says "It's Time" for a Burn Notice Revival

As a gamer who’s spent countless hours binge-watching spy-themed shows, I can’t help but get excited at the prospect of Bruce Campbell reviving the world of Burn Notice! The man is a legend, and Sam Axe was always one of my favorite characters. If they manage to bring back the entire cast, it would be like reassembling an old gaming squad for one epic quest.


One notable star from the TV show “Burn Notice” is keen on reuniting the team, much like how the group in the show “Monk” came back together in the recent resurrection of the original series on Peacock.

Known for his iconic roles in horror films and as Sam Axe, a former Navy SEAL turned private spy on the television series “Burn Notice” and its prequel movie “The Fall of Sam Axe”, Bruce Campbell is making a comeback to TV with a guest appearance on Peacock’s original series “Hysteria!”. During an interview about his latest project, he expressed his desire to revisit the world of “Burn Notice”.

Campbell expressed his desire to revive the series “Burn Notice” during a recent interview with ComicBook. He believes the time is right as there are still many villains worldwide who need to be brought to justice. Fortunately, none of the cast members have met their end in real life or on the show, so they could potentially star in a two-hour movie. Campbell is actively advocating for this idea.

In case you’re not familiar, the TV show “Burn Notice” debuted in 2007 and centered around American intelligence operative Michael Westen (played by Jeffrey Donovan). After being discarded or blacklisted within the spy community and left stranded in his hometown of Miami, Florida, he had no agency to safeguard him from past adversaries. A secret reason for his blacklisting added to the intrigue, forcing him to rely on friends like Sam Axe to stay alive. The series finale in 2013 reached a record-breaking viewership peak.

Campbell’s idea isn’t entirely far-fetched. In fact, it’s not unprecedented for a USA Network original series that hasn’t been on air for quite some time to receive a revival film.

He pointed out that they had accomplished it using “Monk”. As a result, a compact two-hour film emerged. People seem to crave small samples. Brace yourselves for a sample of “Burn Notice”.

Beyond “Mr. Monk’s Last Case: A Monk Movie,” a production that received an Emmy nomination, Peacock has resurrected the team from “Psych” in several subsequent films. Regrettably, there hasn’t been any formal announcement concerning a “Burn Notice” comeback, nor is it clear whether Campbell or anyone else involved, including series creator Matt Nix, are in favor of such a project. However, they have shown interest in the past.

As an ardent fan, I can hardly contain my excitement, eagerly waiting to discover whether the legendary Bruce Campbell’s plea for more adventures will resonate and be fulfilled.
