Jamie Lee Curtis Confirms Murder She Wrote Reboot Role

Jamie Lee Curtis has officially confirmed she will star as Jessica Fletcher in the upcoming reboot of the classic CBS mystery series Murder, She Wrote, originally portrayed by Angela Lansbury. Curtis shared her excitement about the project during the Freakier Friday premiere in Los Angeles but noted that filming has yet to begin and she is currently focused on other commitments. The reboot will be produced by Universal with writers Lauren Schuker Blum and Rebecca Angelo, and Curtis will also serve as a producer. The original series, which aired from 1984 to 1996, followed Fletcher, a retired English teacher turned mystery novelist who solves crimes in her hometown of Cabot Cove and beyond. Curtis's involvement brings a new chapter to the beloved franchise, with the project expected to proceed sometime after her current slate of films and series. Alongside this, Curtis recently reunited with Lindsay Lohan for Freakier Friday and continues to work on several other thriller projects.
