NBC Producing ‘Wiseguy’ Reboot

NBC is planning to reboot the 1987 TV series Wiseguy. Homeland writer Alex Cary will be involved with the project.

Wiseguy ran for four seasons, and told the story of Vinnie Terranova, an undercover FBI agent investigating organized crime. At the beginning of the series, he enters into an 18-month prison sentence in an attempt to establish connections with the criminal underworld.

The new show will be updating the plot to a contemporary time setting.
