Amazon MGM Studios has handed out a green light for its proposed “RoboCop” TV series, which “The Conjuring” and “Aquaman” director James Wan is reportedly set to direct key episodes of.
The series, first announced in development in 2023, will run for eight episodes and hails from showrunner Peter Ocko (“Lodge 49”) and executive producers Wan, Michael Clear and Rob Hackett.
Also onboard as executive producer os Ed Neumeier, co-creator and co-writer of Paul Verhoeven’s 1987 original film.
The story begins when a giant tech conglomerate collaborates with the local police department to introduce a technologically advanced enforcer to combat rising crime, a police officer who’s part man, part machine.
This time out, the cybernetic lawman’s real name is Marc Kyle, not Alex Murphy, and he won’t start off as a police officer but rather as a soldier who died in combat before being remade as a cyborg and beginning a new life.
Verhoeven’s film became an iconic sci-fi action film known for its satire of American capitalism, moments of extreme violence and iconic lines. It inspired two sequels, a reboot in 2014, and several limited TV series.
