This is the merest rumor, mind you. It’s based off of a report from the British tabloid Sun, and a complicating factor here is that it’s been thirty years since the last full season. So, well: everybody’s much older, now. Which admittedly means that Blackadder can be even more sarcastic, but it’d be supposedly set in a modern academic setting, which does seem like an odd place to have the inevitable wholesale death scenes at the end.
I’d watch it, though.
