Still Game's Greg Hemphill says the hit comedy may make a comeback – with OAPs Jack and Victor in their younger days.
The ninth and final series of the BBC sitcom aired in 2019 and co-creators Hemphill and Ford Kiernan have ruled out bringing it back.
But Hemphill said he would be happy for a prequel to be made, with different actors playing younger versions of Jack and Victor.
He added: "It would be really cool if two young writers came along and said to us, 'We want to do a version of this show'."
Hemphill, 51, also revealed he and Kiernan, 59, once tried to swap Craiglang for Boston for a series about two US-based pensioners.
He said they hired US-based comedy writer Duncan Birmingham to help them pen the series.
He added the script was "amazing" but the project did not get off the ground.
Speaking on the Football Daft podcast, Hemphill, who played Victor in Still Game, said: "We tried to develop an American version of Still Game, which was really good fun.
"Duncan Birmingham wrote an amazing script set in Boston. It was fantastic.
"It was so strange to read it and think, 'Wow, this is like Still Game but it’s different, it's its own thing'."
Still Game became a comedy phenomenon after its first showing in 2002.
