A new Charlie’s Angels series is in the works.
Per Deadline, Sony Pictures Television — Kids and Floresta are moving forward with a “reimagination” of the Charlie’s Angels franchise. The new series will be for tween audiences and will be set in Brazil.
What will the new Charlie’s Angels series be about?
“At the center of the tale are three pre-teens from different backgrounds and realities who are selected by a talent scout according to their special skills to join a secret school of spies called the Angels Academy,” Deadline’s description reads. “Each episode will follow the angels as they solve crimes and save the world…all while navigating their first year of spy school. The stories will blend a mix of real, relatable and at times, absurd cases, amped up with elements of fun and wish fulfillment.”
The new Portuguese-language Charlie’s Angels series will be written by Suzana Pires.
“We’re excited to have an opportunity to evolve this incredible Sony IP for a younger modern audience,” said Sony Pictures Television — Kids’ Joe D’Ambrosia. “We’re leaning into must-see cliffhanger storytelling, while also staying true to the original premise of the show: mystery, adventure, comedy, and empowered young females who balance homework, softball practice, and being teenagers all while saving the world.”
Piers added, “When Thiago Teitelroit (Floresta) and Sony invited me to be a part of the adaptation of Charlie’s Angels in Brazil, I could only respond with a resounding yes. We will deliver elaborate spy plots and lots of adventure with the essential touch of comedy and a narrative spin. A great Latin entertainment piece for everyone to enjoy.”
Charlie’s Angels originated as a television series that aired on ABC in 1976. It ran for five seasons, concluding its run in 1981. Another Charlie’s Angels series also premiered on ABC in 2011 but was canceled after one seven-episode season.
There have also been three theatrically released Charlie’s Angels movies, including 2000’s Charlie’s Angels and the 2003 sequel Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle, both of which were directed by McG, along with a 2019 reboot.
