Looks like “The A-Team” is coming back to TV.
20th Century Fox TV is developing a contemporary reboot of the 1980s action series with Chris Morgan and Tawnia McKiernan on board to exec produce.
The “contemporary take” will reportedly include female members of the titular squad which was originally played by George Peppard, Dwight Schultz, Mr. T and Dirk Benedict.
Albert Kim penned the adaptation.
The news was first reported by Deadline, which reports:
Like the original NBC show, the new A-Team revolves around a diverse team of American Special Forces operatives. Unlike the original all-male squad, the new team will include both male and female members. The group has been framed for a crime they didn’t commit and set out to clear their names by uncovering the black-ops conspiracy that set them up. Along the way, they are driven to help those in need by using their singular military skills, high-tech expertise and often conflicting individual approaches. It’s described as a fun episodic mission-of-the-week show that mixes big action-adventure sequences with compelling characters, inventive cons and lots of humor.
