The new iteration would be a modern-day take on the LGBT-themed series, set 25 years later, and would possibly be shot in San Francisco. Tales of the City is the first of nine books in Maupin’s series, and explores “alternative lifestyles” and “underground” culture in San Francisco in the 1970s. Netflix declined comment. This would be the fourth version of Tales of The City to air on the small screen. The first three books in the series all have been adapted into television miniseries starring Dukakis and Linney. The first aired on PBS in the U.S., and the last two on Showtime. Maupin is set to return as executive producer, sources said.
