ABC is jumping on the 70s revival bandwagon with a reboot of the 1974 series Get Christie Love! It has given a pilot order to the updated show.
The series is a music-driven one-hour drama that centers on Christie Love, played by Kylie Bunbury (Pitch), an African-American female CIA agent who leads an elite ops unit. She transforms into whomever she needs to be to get the job done, especially when it’s down to the wire and the stakes are life and death.
Courtney A. Kemp has been tapped as showrunner and will executive produce with Debra Martin Chase, Vin Diesel and Shana C. Waterman.
The original starred Teresa Graves as undercover detective Christie Love. She was the first African-American woman to star in an hour-long drama.
The show was inspired by films like Cleopatra Jones, which is also getting a remake, along with Superfly and another Shaft starring Samuel L. Jackson and Richard Roundtree.
