SISTAH TAPPED TO TAKE OVER “MURDER SHE WROTE”

NBC is revisiting Murder, She Wrote. The Angela Lansbury drama is being re-imagined at the network with Desperate Housewives alum Alexandra Cunningham and David Janollari producing a new take starring Oscar winner Octavia Spencer. A SISTAH!!!The original drama ran for 12 seasons on CBS from 1984-1996 and is considered one of the most successful shows in history, drawing 23 million viewers during its heyday on Sundays. NBC’s Murder will revolve around a hospital administrator/amateur detective (Spencer) who self-publishes her first mystery novel. It’s set in a day where sensational headlines fuel the news and focuses on the character’s fascination with true crimes, which propels her to become an active part of the investigations. Should NBC’s Murder move to series, it would mark Spencer’s first regular role. The Oscar winner (The Help) most recently guest-starred on CBS’ freshman Chuck Lorre comedy Mom. Spencer is repped by WME and Jackoway Tyerman. What do you think…who remembers this show?
