Netflix Reboots T.J. Hooker as Action-Comedy Film

Netflix is developing an action-comedy film adaptation of the 1980s police series 'T.J. Hooker', originally starring William Shatner as a Los Angeles police sergeant. The original show, created by Rick Husky and running from 1982 to 1986, also featured Heather Locklear and Adrian Zmed and was known for its serious tone. Writers Jarrad Paul and Andy Mogel, known for 'Yes Man', are attached to script the new adaptation. The film will take a comedic approach, following the trend set by successful reboots like '21 Jump Street'. Rick Husky will serve as executive producer, while Shatner, now 94, has not been confirmed to participate. The project exemplifies the current wave of reimagining classic TV dramas as comedies for modern audiences.
