Groundhog Day Star Says They Were Approached About a TV Series Sequel

The series would apparently take place 30 years after the original movie (via toofab)

That means other alums from around the town could make appearances as well. Much like Bryan Doyle-Murray did in the aforementioned Super Bowl commercial earlier this year.

While it seems unlikely Bill Murray would be interested in reprising his role -- and he did, after all, learn his lesson -- the premise is wide open for anyone to fall into the clutches of Punxsatawney Phil. Note that the film never explains how or why Murray's character winds up stuck in a time loop, so blaming the groundhog is as good a guess as any.

One of fans' favorite things about the original film is its meticulous attention to detail as Phil repeated the same day over and over again, and that same repetition extended over a season or series could make for even more fun Easter eggs and treats for fans. In time, they'll come to be as familiar to the beats of the day as Phil was, leaving all sorts of interesting and tantalizing possiblities for how to twist the expected events into something new.
