Remakes occur less often on television than in film, because television mostly  favours the concept of "reviving" a series instead. But some remakes have happened from time to time, especially in the early 21st century. Examples include ''[[Battlestar Galactica]]'' (2003), ''[[He-Man and the Masters of the Universe]]'' (2002), ''{{Lang|fr|[[Nikita (TV series)|Nikita]]}}'' (2010), ''[[V (2009 TV series)|V]]'' (2009), ''[[Hawaii Five-0 (2010 TV series)|Hawaii Five-0]]'' (2010), and ''[[Charlie's Angels (2011 TV series)|Charlie's Angels]]'' (2011).

One area where television remakes are particularly common is remaking [[List of American television series based on British television series|British shows for the American market]] or, less frequently, [[List of British television series based on American television series|American shows for the British market]]. For example, ''[[Three's Company]]'' is an American remake of the British ''[[Man About the House]]'': not only was the original show re-created (with very few characters or situation changes initially), but both series had [[Spin-off (media)|spin-offs]] based on [[List of Man About the House characters#Mildred Roper|the Ropers]] (in the United Kingdom, ''[[George and Mildred]]'', in the United States, ''[[The Ropers]]''), and both series were eventually re-tooled into series based on the male lead (in the United Kingdom, ''[[Robin's Nest (TV series)|Robin's Nest]]'', in the United States, ''[[Three's a Crowd]]''). The British sitcom ''[[Till Death Us Do Part]]'' inspired the American ''[[All in the Family]],'' while ''All in the Family''<nowiki/>'s spin-off ''[[Maude (TV series)|Maude]]'' was remade in the United Kingdom as ''[[Nobody's Perfect (British TV series)|Nobody's Perfect]].''

Another example is the long-running American sitcom ''[[The Office (American TV series)|The Office]]'' (2005–2013), which was a remake of the 2001 BBC sitcom [[The Office (British TV series)|of the same name]]. The American version's [[Television pilot|pilot episode]] followed its British counterpart "nearly verbatim", though later episodes had their own unique plot.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Goodman |first1=Tim |title=Miracle time -- Americanized 'Office' is good |url=http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=%2Fchronicle%2Farchive%2F2005%2F03%2F24%2FDDG03BT6Q51.DTL |access-date=23 January 2020 |work=[[San Francisco Chronicle]] |date=24 March 2005 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110525141500/http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=%2Fchronicle%2Farchive%2F2005%2F03%2F24%2FDDG03BT6Q51.DTL |archive-date=25 May 2011}}</ref> The American television show ''[[The Killing (American TV series)|The Killing]]'' is an [[Whodunit|investigative crime drama]] based on the Danish series ''{{Lang|da|[[The Killing (Danish TV series)|Forbrydelsen]]}}''.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Cutchins |first1=Dennis |last2=Krebd |first2=Katja |last3=Eckhart |first3=Voigts |title=The Routledge Companion to Adaptation |date=2018 |publisher=Routledge |location=Abingdon, Oxon |isbn=978-1317426554 |edition=1st |chapter-url=https://books.google.com/books?id=oR9WDwAAQBAJ&dq=the+killing+remake+tv-series&pg=PT466 |chapter=24: Reconfiguring the Nordic Noir Brand}}</ref>
