According to Deadline, NBC has ordered a pilot reboot of the James Garner-fronted show which ran from 1974-80.
Renowned for his cautious, if unconventional, approach to conflict, Rockford represented a very different kind of hero, using his wit and ingenuity to outsmart his opponents.
The show received 18 Emmy nominations during its run and five awards, including Outstanding Drama Series in 1978. Garner also won an award for his acting, along with co-stars Stuart Margolin and Rita Moreno.
According to the official logline, it won’t take long for his quest for legitimacy to “land him squarely in the crosshairs of both local police and organised crime”.
No more details have been provided yet, with no suggestion as to who will step into Garner’s sizeable shoes as the atypical detective. It’s sure to be a highly contested role and we’ll be watching the casting search closely.
Universal Pictures also began development of a feature adaptation in 2012, but the project was ultimately postponed following Garner’s death in 2014.
