The 1983 classic “Flashdance” is getting rebooted for a TV series for CBS All Access. The Hollywood Reporter reports Tracy McMillan is on board to write the script and Angela Robinson to direct.
The series reboot will revolve around a young Black woman with ballet dreams and a strip club reality who struggles to find her place in the world while navigating romance, money, art, friendship and how to love herself.
CBS All Access is set to be rebranded to Paramount+ by the end of the year, and will be broadened out to incorporate more originals from the sprawling ViacomCBS portfolio, including content from brands such as Nickelodeon, BET, Comedy Central and beyond.
