Sony is reviving Charlie’s Angels (again) and has hired The Proposal and Crazy Rich Asians scribe Pete Chiarelli to pen the script.

Charlie’s Angels has had its fair share of adaptations, first appearing on TV screens from 1976 to 1981. A sensation at the time, the crime drama’s first season made stars out of Farrah Fawcett, Kate Jackson, and Jaclyn Smith, who portrayed three extremely competent private detectives working for the Townsend Agency, run by an enigmatic and never-seen owner, Charlie Townsend.

It was then adapted for the big screen in 2000, in a version that starred Drew Barrymore, Cameron Diaz, and Lucy Liu. The trio returned for a sequel in 2003, Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle.

A new television series was attempted in 2011, though it was cancelled after just seven episodes (the eighth episode was left unaired in the United States). In 2019, Sony tried again to relaunch the franchise with Elizabeth Banks’ feature film starring Kristen Stewart, Naomi Scott, and Ella Balinska. The project bombed at the box office.

This new project is in early development, so other than Chiarelli’s involvement, everything surrounding the film remains unknown. Chiarelli is also known for Now You See Me 2 and GOAT, the animated feature currently in cinemas.
