The Homicide executive producer tells Vulture he wasn't directly involved in the remaster for streaming on Peacock. "We just saw the end product, but that was fine," he says. "The people doing it were really great at it. I’m one of these people who can’t watch one of my shows once I’ve finished. All I want to do is fix them." Asked how Homicide's grainy feel looks with a 4K and HD remaster, Fontana says: "I’ve seen a little bit. It actually intensifies it in a weird kind of way, but you’ll be the judge. You’ll tell me." Meanwhile, Fontana says he wasn't told that any music was lost due to music rights issues in the streaming edition, though NBC told Vulture that the remaster will have "much of the original music." Fontana reveals that "five or six years ago," an NBC executive called about a potential Homicide reboot. But it never got off the ground. "If there’s a spark that comes off the Peacock streaming, maybe we’ll take another look at it," he says. "My biggest fear is being haunted by the original, and because so many of the actors are gone. We would have to start with a whole new cast and probably in another city just to break the spell, if you will. I don’t know."
