List of U.S. television series remade for the British market

Although most United States-made television series are directly exported to the United Kingdom using the original production and cast, some successful shows have been remade for the British market.

It is far more common for a successful British show to be remade for an American audience since U.S. citizens are generally less likely to be acquainted with British accents, media, and culture than vice versa.

The following list include American TV shows and concepts remade for a British audience.
