10 TV Shows You Didn't Know Were Being Revived

6. Miami Vice

Yet another series from the 1980s that's apparently ripe for a modern take, the Miami Vice reboot is in the works from none other than Fast & Furious star Vin Diesel.

The original was a cultural sensation, with a lasting impact not only on TV - it basically changed the game for police procedurals - but on fashion too. That style and swagger was, however, very of its time, and finding something similar but for the current era is the biggest challenge facing the reboot (as the 00s movie found out).

Still, it was cinematic at a time TV shows weren't, so at a time when television has finally caught up, perhaps Vin and co can take it to bold new heights again.
