This is official: CBS has announced that the series, adapted from the James Cameron film True Lies, is finally going to see the light of day. And since good news never comes alone, the American channel has also released an explosive first trailer that should delight feature film fans.
It seems that the short content of the series follows the premise of the original film. A disgruntled suburban housewife played by Ginger Gonzaga (kiding) is shocked to discover that her mediocre and uninspired computer consultant husband, played by Steve Howe (Shameless), is actually an experienced international spy. He then finds himself in a new life of danger and adventure when he is hired to work alongside him to save the world.
In addition to Steve Howe and Ginger Gonzaga, the cast also includes Erika Hernandez (New Amsterdam), Omar Miller (Experts: Miami), Mike O’Gorman (Vice Directors), Anabela Didon and Lucas Jay (Merry Happy Whatever).
Matt Knicks, who wrote for Turner and Hooch and The Gifted, by the way, will be the show’s author and executive producer. The pilot was directed by Emmy-nominated Anthony Hemingway for his work on American Crime Story. James Cameron, who is behind the film, which was itself a remake of the 1991 French film, will also star in the True Lies series as a producer.
Released in 1994, True Lies remains one of the most iconic action movies of the 90s. The feature film, directed by Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jamie Lee Curtis, became a hit upon its release in theaters and grossed more than $ 378 million. in the whole world. This is even Arnold Schwarzenegger’s fourth major success after Terminator 2, Terminator Genisys and Terminator 3.
This is not the first time that discussions have arisen around a remake of the cult film. As early as 2017, Fox announced that it was working on developing a new series adaptation, but the project was never implemented. Rumors about the release of the series on Disney + also spread in 2019, but ultimately it is CBS that will allow the remake to finally see the light of day.
However, you will have to be patient with your problems to discover the series as it will not air on CBS until 2023.
