These TV Shows Did So Well That They Got Box Office Spin-Offs

Traffik

Traffik was an indie British series that documented drug trafficking in the UK. There are three overlapping storylines throughout the show, which gives the characters depth. The Afghan and Pakistani growers, German dealers, and British users are all expertly connected to each other in ways that none of them ever expect.

Traffic

Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones star in the 2004 remake of Traffik. In this case, the producers decided to switch the spelling to Traffic. It came out in 2000, and the leading stars are actually married in real life.
