"Starsky & Hutch" Remake in Works

A new version of the 1970s buddy cop series "Starsky & Hutch" is in the works at Fox.

Fox is developing the project as a one-hour drama under its script-to-series model.

The modern reimagining will revolve around two female detectives, Sasha Starsky and Nicole Hutchinson.

 The duo solves crimes in the offbeat town of Desert City while staying true to their friendship, and 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 and Elizabeth Peterson will serve as writers and showrunners. The project will be produced by Sony Pictures Television and Fox Entertainment.

Created by William Blinn and produced by Spelling-Goldberg Productions, the original series aired on ABC from 1975-1979 and is centered on two detectives, the streetwise David Michael Starsky (played by Paul Michael Glaser) and the by-the-book Kenneth Richard “Hutch” Hutchinson (David Soul) — traversing the streets of the fictional Bay City, California in a two-door Ford Gran Torino. 

Sony TV, then known as Columbia Pictures Television, was behind the original series.
