The American version of Love/Hate has yet to be given the green light. Writer Dennis Lehane who worked on The Wire is drafting the US version.
According to the Independent, he said: 'The new version of the show is set in a gritty part of Hawaii tourists are simply unaware of. I'm doing the entire Americanisation of 'Love/Hate' but it hasn’t got the green light yet. I've written the pilot but we will have to see what happens. It will either get the go-ahead or it will be dead within in the next few months.'
