A-Team TV Series Remake In Works With Chris Morgan Producing
EXCLUSIVE: The A-Team is being reassembled. I’ve learned that 20th Century Fox TV has put together a new contemporary take on Stephen J. Cannell’s classic 1980s action series. Fast & Furious writer-producer Chris Morgan executive produces with Cannell’s daughter, TV director Tawnia McKiernan. Sleepy Hollow executive producer Albert Kim is writing the adaptation.
Like the original NBC show, the new A-Team revolves around a diverse team of American Special Forces operatives. Unlike the original all-male squad, the new team will include both male and female memebrs. The group has been framed for a crime they didn’t commit and set out to clear their names by uncovering the black-ops conspiracy that set them up. Along the way, they are driven to help those in need by using their singular military skills, high-tech expertise and often conflicting individual approaches. It’s described as a fun episodic mission-of-the-week show that mixes big action-adventure sequences with compelling characters, inventive cons and lots of humor.

At least with Chris Morgan he will make the show fun with lots of action.
Thought his last show Gang Related was fun, but too bad it aired in the summer and no one watched it.
After the A Team movie came and went a few years ago, I'm not so sure there is any enthusiasm for this. A bunch of remakes and movie adaptations have been greenlit in the last month.

^ ^^ I actually like those casting ideas. Though I have a feeling the actual show will be cast with a bunch of pretty looking nobodies.

I loved the A-Team but this is one concept that will get mangled in translation by any modern remake. Mr. T today would be widely criticized as a racial stereotype in the media and would never make it past the development stage. This will be a soulless, glossy remake with beautiful people.
