'Murder, She Wrote' Reboot to Star Octavia Spencer

Octavia

NBC has agreed to a put pilot commitment on a reboot of Angela Lansbury‘s hugely popular and long-running mystery series Murder, She Wrote. That means that we’re definitely seeing Octavia Spencer in the lead role some time soon.

There’s usually no guarantee that a show will actually air until after a pilot is produced and the network commits to a series. A put pilot, however is a distinctly different animal, and that’s what Deadline is calling Alexandra Cunningham and producer David Janollari‘s new project, starring Oscar winner Octavia Spencer. The “put” part of a put pilot means that the network has agreed to air the pilot, regardless of whether they pick it up for a series or pay some steep fees to the production studio that made it. It means that whatever Cunningham, Janollari and Spencer produce, we’re very very likely to actually see it air.
