But once again, there is no official Columbo reboot! And while Ruffalo and Lyonne are both worthy successors, it would be hard for anyone to top Falk, who won four Emmys for the role from 1970 through 1990, all the while balancing an illustrious film career.

Will Columbo ever be remade?

The duo have admitted they have no current plans to bring the show back, but they would like to write a series around fellow detective, Columbo. The character was originally portrayed by Peter Falk in the hit American crime drama from 1971 until 2003.

How did Columbo lose his eye?

Falk grew up in Ossining, New York. Falk's right eye was surgically removed when he was three because of a retinoblastoma; he wore an artificial eye for most of his life.
