"Hart to Hart" Remake with Gay Couple Set at NBC; Carol Mendelsohn Producing
by Nellie Andreeva
September 15, 2015

The Harts are back with a twist. NBC has put in development a new take on the 1979 ABC mystery/adventure drama, which starred Robert Wagner and Stefanie Powers.

The reboot — which centers on a gay couple — hails from producer Carol Mendelsohn and Sony TV, whose predecessor Columbia Pictures produced the original series with Spelling-Goldebrg Prods.

Written by Christopher Fife (Revenge, Private Practice), based on the Sidney Sheldon-created original, the new "Hart To Hart" is described as a modern and sexy retelling of the classic series that focuses on “by the book” attorney Jonathan Hart and free-spirited investigator Dan Hartman, who must balance the two sides of their life: action-packed crime-solving in the midst of newly found domesticity.

The project, which has received a script commitment plus penalty after interest from multiple networks, is executive produced by Fife and Carol Mendelsohn Prods.’ Mendelsohn and Julie Weitz.

It'll flop.

Remakes announced by NBC only to be scrapped:

Bewitched (probably still in the works)
Coach
The Munsters (movie aired, series scrapped)
Murder, She Wrote

Feel-free to add any I may have overlooked

I suspect Hart to Hart will meet the same fate but they gave the Bionic Woman & Ironside a chance so anything's possible

And much to the delight of the Robert Wagner haters, this version won't feature someone accused of murdering his wife.

Knight Rider, Moonlighting and Cagney and Lacey should also get the Hart to Hart reboot treatment.
