Overview
- The update follows a newly paroled James Rockford returning to work as a Los Angeles private investigator who quickly draws heat from police and organized crime.
- The pilot is written and executive produced by Mike Daniels with Sarah Timberman and Carl Beverly, with Chris Leanza as co-executive producer for Universal Television.
- NBC is targeting roughly three to four drama pilots and two to three comedy pilots in this cycle as it restores a seasonal development cadence.
- The order joins a separate private-investigator comedy pilot from Brooklyn Nine-Nine veterans Dan Goor and Luke Del Tredici.
- Casting has not been announced; the original James Garner series ran on NBC from 1974 to 1980 and later spawned eight TV movies.
