The network has ordered a pilot for a reboot of The Rockford Files, a genre-defining detective series that made James Garner a full-fledged TV icon after his five-season run on Maverick in the 1950s and '60s.

That offbeat approach set The Rockford Files apart from the sharper-edged TV detectives of its era and helped make the show a long-running hit for NBC from 1974 to 1980.

The Rockford reboot also isn’t NBC’s first attempt to bring the franchise back. A previous remake effort reached the pilot stage in the 2010s, and Universal Television has explored multiple revival concepts over the years, underscoring the enduring appeal of the character.
Perhaps the Next in a Line of Successful '70s Reboots
Over the past two decades, several reimagined ’70s and ’80s TV series have found new life with modern audiences, including Battlestar Galactica, Hawaii Five-0 , One Day at a Time and Dallas. NBC is clearly hoping The Rockford Files can follow a similar path by pairing nostalgia with updated storytelling.
