“Queer as Folk” will get back to its roots in a new reboot. Bravo tapped Stephen Dunn, whose credits include 2015′s “Closet Monster,” to write, direct and executive produce a new version of the seminal gay-themed show, Variety reported Tuesday. Though many fans remember “Queer as Folk” as the five-season Showtime series that ran from 2000 through 2005, the reboot will use the 1999 British iteration as its inspiration. The UK version of “Queer as Folk” was created by Russell T. Davies and ran for 10 episodes from 1999 to 2000. Davies, who also explored LGBTQ themes on this year’s BBC-Amazon miniseries “A Very English Scandal,” signed on to executive produce the Bravo reboot.
