However Bubbins has a clear favourite in mind, saying he would like to get Bateman onboard as Tony Mammoth.
“He’s really funny and he just makes me laugh,” Bubbins said of Bateman, who played Michael Bluth in the comedy series Arrested Development, and also starred in Ozark.
“As long as they’re funny then that’s great,” he said.
Even though he will not reprise his role, Bubbins hopes to make a cameo appearance in the US version, a nod to the show’s British roots in a similar way to Ricky Gervais’ brief appearance in the US version of The Office.
Mammoth will be joined by comedy series Here We Go in being adapted by BBC Studios for the US market.
Josh Cole, chief creative officer of fiction and comedy at BBC Studios, said Mammoth has a “brilliantly unique premise” and “huge global potential”.
