Netflix Is Bringing Back T.J. HOOKER as an Action Comedy Movie — GeekTyrant
Netflix is diving back into the world of '80s TV procedurals and giving one of its most recognizable titles a modern, comedic twist. The streaming giant has secured the rights to T.J. Hooker , the classic cop drama that originally starred William Shatner, and is turning it into an action comedy film. The original T.J. Hooker series debuted in 1982 and ran for five seasons, wrapping up in 1986 after airing 91 episodes. It followed Shatner's tough-as-nails Sgt. T.J. Hooker, a seasoned cop dealing with the emotional fallout from his partner's death and a messy divorce. Trading in his plainclothes detective badge, Hooker returns to patrol duty to train rookies and take down the kind of criminals who shattered his life. The cast also included Heather Locklear, Adrian Zmed, and James Darren. Now, Netflix is ready to reimagine that gritty, old-school crime-fighter for today's audience. Hooker's 'rough around the edges' style seems tailor-made for a self-aware, action-packed comedy update that plays with how out-of-place his methods might look in a more progressive world. There's no confirmation yet if the now 94-year-old Shatner will appear in the film, but fans will undoubtedly be keeping an eye on that. Jarrad Paul and Andy Mogel are set to write the script for the adaptation. They'll also produce the movie alongside Sophie Cassidy and Matt Crespy of 2.0 Entertainment, Adrian Askarieh of Prime Universe Films, and Alex Westmore of Vali Vista Films. The film's executive production team includes Rick Husky, the creator of the original show. Paul and Mogel bring a solid comedy pedigree to the project. They're currently showrunning Bert , a Netflix series starring Bert Kreischer, which they also co-created and wrote. Their feature Little Brother , starring John Cena and Eric Andre and directed by Matt Spicer, is shooting this summer for Netflix. Their past work includes Huge in France , The Grinder , and The D Train with Jack Black and James Marsden. They also co-wrote the 2008 comedy Yes Man , starring Jim Carrey and Zooey Deschanel, and created the animated series Allen Gregory with Jonah Hill. With T.J. Hooker coming back in this new form, Netflix is banking on bringing back a familiar face in a way that could appeal to both longtime fans and newcomers looking for a fresh, fun spin on the cop genre.

My Life With the Walter Boys Gets Even Messier in New Season 2 Trailer - Watch The original T.J. Hooker premiered as a midseason replacement in March 1982, and starred Star Trek veteran Shatner as Thomas Jefferson 'T. J.' Hooker, a sergeant in the Los Angeles County Police Department who was determined to rid the streets of criminals like those who murdered his former partner. The cast initially included Adrian Zmed (as Officer Vincent 'Vince' Romano), April Clough (as Officer Vicki Taylor) and Richard Herd (as Captain Dennis Sheridan). Clough departed after Season 1, at which point Heather Locklear joined the ensemble (as Officer Stacy Sheridan). James Darren (as Officer Jim Corrigan) and Hugh Farrington (as Detective Lieutenant Pete O'Brien) also co-starred. When ABC cancelled the series after four seasons, CBS swooped in and gave it a fifth (and final) season. All told, 91 episodes were produced and currently stream on Tubi. The reboot news follows the theatrical release of the new Naked Gun starring Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson, which made $17 million domestically on opening weekend.

Beaming Heather Locklear, 63, shows off her smooth complexion as she collects pet dog Mister from the groomers after split from fiancé
Heather Locklear showed off her smooth visage as she stepped out in Calabasas on Wednesday following her reported recent split from fiancé Chris Heisser. The American actress, 63, appeared to be in good spirits as she picked up her beloved pet pooch Mister from the groomers. Heather looked relaxed in a black tank top which she teamed with flared Nike sports trousers and flip flops. The Melrose Place star looked remarkably healthy after getting sober following an meltdown in 2018 that saw her arrested twice, placed on a psychiatric hold and her home declared a 'hazard' by local first responders. Heather is understood to be single after splitting from fiancé of many years in May. Heather and Chris, both 63, went to high school together in the 1970s and dated then. They reconnected in 2017 and got engaged in 2020 after a brief breakup in 2019. Heather Locklear showed off her smooth visage as she stepped out in Calabasas on Wednesday following her reported recent split from fiancé Chris Heisser 'Heather and Chris are no longer together,' a source told Us Weekly. 'Heather is single and she's ready to date again.' Another source added, 'She hasn't seen Chris since the New Year but wishes him all the best.' Reportedly nothing dramatic happened between the two long time friends, they just drifted apart like many couples do, the insider claimed. The last time he appeared on her Instagram page was in 2023. has reached out to Heather's representative for comment. Us Weekly 's first source called the demise of their engagement a 'slow fizzle.' 'They are not spending as much time with each other. It's minimal, the source continued. 'She's focusing on herself. She is sober and doing really well.' And the Melrose Place star is wasting any time moping around about the breakup. 'Heather's main focus is her sobriety, gardening, cooking, and spending quality time with her daughter Ava and her friends,' the source shared. The timing of the TJ Hooker actress' breakup is interesting because her ex-husband Tommy Lee also just split from his wife, Brittany Furlan. Heather was playing Sammy Jo on the wildly popular nighttime drama Dynasty, while Tommy was the drummer for one of the hottest bands of the 1980s, Mötley Crüe. They met at an REO Speedwagon concert in the 1980s, and when Tommy spotted Heather in the crowd, he was smitten. 'He took her hand and said, "Hi, I'm Tommy, nice to touch you." He got her phone number from his accountant's brother, a dentist who knew Locklear's dentist,' Rolling Stone reported. 'But the first time he called her up, he almost blew it. He told her, "Hey, check it out, you're on channel 2."' Locklear pointed out that it wasn't her on channel 2 – it was Heather Thomas, an actress she is frequently mistaken for. They had a whirlwind relationship and got engaged just a few months into their relationship when Heather popped the question to Tommy. They got married on May 10, 1986, at The Biltmore in Santa Barbara. They split in 1993 reportedly due to Tommy's infidelity. Heather went on to marry Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora while Tommy moved on with Pamela Anderson. In an interesting turn of events, Tommy, 62, recently split with his wife Brittany Furlan, 38. Sources close to Lee and Furla, told TMZ Thursday that the heavy metal staple and comic/influencer have not lived together the past two weeks.

He captioned the post: 'Everything has its place and time and this one hits it right on the head Stupid girl!'
