8 TV Show Reboots You Didn't Know Were In The Works

The Original: Running for five seasons between 1984-1989, the classic series starred Don Johnson and Philip Michael Thomas as undercover police officers working in Miami, and included an impressive list of guest stars including Laurence Fishburne, Bruce Willis and Aragorn himself, Viggo Mortensen.

Praised for its usage of music and visual effects, the show proved so popular that it spawned a 2006 Hollywood movie featuring Jamie Foxx and Colin Farrell (directed by original series producer Michael Mann) as well as multiple video games. But you can safely give those a miss.

The Reboot: Miami Vice's TV reboot already has a ton of credibility to its name, after it was revealed that none other than Vin Diesel would be handling executive producing duties, along with his Fast and Furious screenwriter Chris Morgan.

With people of that caliber involved, you have to wonder why Diesel and Morgan aren't making a Miami Vice movie instead, given their expertise with slick, action-heavy Hollywood productions.

Not much else has been revealed about the show other than its home on NBC, but it's speculated that it could be ready to launch as early as next year. It'll need to get a move on though, given that Diesel is gearing up (pun intended) to start filming Fast 9 and 10.
