Jack Nicholson’s Oscar-winning cult classic, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, is finally getting a redo, but this time on smaller screens and with a significantly bigger upgrade from the 1975 movie. With the television adaptation will come a chance to finally redeem the one serious fault that the original film has been carrying for all these years.

With the television adaptation, there is finally some hope to redeem the storyline following Kesey’s 1962 novel.
