10 Upcoming TV Show Reboots (And Their Chances Of Survival)
8. Miami Vice
The Original: Few shows were as cool in their heyday as Miami Vice. The Michael Mann-helmed show brought gritty police dramas to the MTV generation with two undercover cops (Don Johnson and Philip Michael Thomas) battling Miami’s drug crime. The show’s fusion of pop music, fashion and slick cinematography, helped make it one of the most popular series of the 1980s.
The Reboot: The unofficial star of Miami Vice was always the city itself and the South Florida metropolis continues to be a popular setting for action movies like the Fast and Furious franchise. With Furious star Vin Diesel’s production company behind the reboot, it’s likely a new Miami Vice will have no shortage of high-adrenaline car chases and action scenes.
Chance Of Survival: If the show's new cast can avoid a lack of chemistry between its main characters that befell the 2006 film, a new series might be a winner.
