A Starsky & Hutch reboot is currently in the works. FOX is developing a female-led take on the cop series which aired between 1975 and 1979. David Soul and Paul Michael Glaser starred in the original show. The 2004 feature film, starring Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson, and Vince Vaughn, paid homage to the original with a comedic take.
THR revealed the following about the plot of the potential FOX series:
The modern ‘reimagining’ of Starsky & Hutch will center on two female detectives, Sasha Starsky and Nicole Hutchinson. They solve crimes in the offbeat town of Desert City while staying true to their friendship, their awesomeness, and somehow also trying to unravel the mystery behind who sent their fathers to prison 15 years ago for a crime they didn’t commit.
Sam Sklaver (Prodigal Son) and Elizabeth Peterson (The Resident) are writing two scripts for the potential series before a decision is made. Sony Pictures Television, which as Columbia Pictures TV produced the original series, and Fox Entertainment are producing.
In 2017, a reboot of the series from James Gunn was in the works but Amazon ended up passing on the project.
What do you think? Did you watch the original Starsky & Hutch? Do you want to see a reboot on FOX?
Yes, I would love to see Starsky and Hutch Childrens come to their Ade!
This has already been done. It was called “Cagney & Lacey’
Yes to Starsky and Hutch being set in the modern reimagining instead of setting it in the 1970s.
But no to Starsky and Hutch being female detectives! They have to stay being male detectives.
Where is the learning? Event the reboots of reboots are being cancelled, no one wants this sh**e people, stop make it – we would be better off by the long way with way less trash tv and more actual people time or book time, or indeed anything, other than all this mindless reworking that is bearly 1/8th of the original… just make it STOP.
The original shows were successful because of what they were. Stop REIMAGINING them. Don’t turn them into comedies. Don’t change the gender of the characters.
Please don’t bother.
Reboots are lame.
Or…you could create new TV series for us to love! Getting tired of the reboots…
why leave it cancelled
Every reboot has to have different race or gender from the original. Enough already.
I Agree Enough Already
I blame King James II for getting it started with all the gender swapping in his version of The Bible.
Completely Stupid
No. Just no. Enough of the reboots already.
Why.Just why.
No.
