The source noted that the series is still in its “early stages” and won’t necessarily be on traditional broadcast or cable TV.

While neither actor is attached to the series yet, ABC hopes having the original writer and producer on board could help make the show a success. The original film made $50.7 million, earning back its $10 million budget five times over.
