Disney+ Loses True Lies Reboot Series to CBS

Posted by: Jennifer Retzlaff February 13, 2021

Almost two years ago we heard about a True Lies reboot coming to Disney+, but now it seems like that is in the past.

This past week, THR has reported that the project is continuing at 20th Television but it has now been given a pilot order by CBS and will no longer be coming to Disney+.

Matt Nix, who is also behind the Disney+ “Turner & Hooch” series, will be writing the script for the series, with the film’s original director James Cameron aboard the project as an executive producer.  McG will be directing the pilot and will be an executive producer on the series.

McG’s Wonderland Sound and Vision president Mary Viola and frequent Cameron collaborator Rae Sanchini of his Lightstorm Entertainment banner will also be an executive producer.

The pilot will be a retelling of the same story as in the film, where a suburban housewife is forced into the life of danger, when she is recruited to work alongside her undercover spy husband to save the world.

This is a rare off-network sale for Disney’s 20th Television and is considered off-brand for its platforms like Hulu or Disney+ and are looking for an additional revenue stream from an outside network like CBS.

About Jennifer Retzlaff

My name is Jennifer Retzlaff and I became a lifelong Disney fan during my first trip to Walt Disney World in 6th grade. From that moment, Disney became a big part of my life. I live in Iowa with my husband and two kids who are growing up too quickly for my liking. I started introducing my love for Disney early to my family with a Disney honeymoon and then trips when our youngest of 18 months. Since then, our family has been to Walt Disney World over five times and we continue to plan and dream for the next trip. I love the magic that Disney brings to people through the theme parks, cruises, adventures and movies they create. As a teacher, I try to bring that magic into my classroom to help kids believe that “If You Can Dream It, You Can Do It.” I recently reached a dream of mine as I joined Magic Vacation Planner as a personal travel advisor. With this team, I can now help others plan magical vacations. As a passionate writer, I also have my own blog at magicalvacationsbyjen which is also where you can follow me on instagram for trip reviews along with tips and tricks for your next magical vacation.
