Sony Pictures will revive the "Charlie's Angels" franchise with a new project they have just started working on.
Screenwriter Pete Chiarelli was tasked with writing a new installment of this action series in which women are secret agents.
It is still unknown who will be in charge of producing the new version, but some media outlets are reporting that Drew Barrymore could return to this project.
The original "Charlie's Angels" aired on ABC from 1976 to 1981, and the crime drama quickly became a pop culture sensation, launching actresses Kate Jackson, Jacqueline Smith and Farrah Fawcett into the world of celebrity.
Decades later, the title returned to the spotlight when Sony Columbia purchased the film rights in 2000. That version starred Drew Barrymore, Cameron Diaz, and Lucy Liu, and was a huge box office success.
Both the 2000 film and its 2003 sequel, "Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle," grossed more than $250 million in ticket sales, but the final installment starring Kristen Stewart in 2019 grossed "only" $73 million.
Both the 2000 version and the subsequent 2003 sequel, Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle, earned over $250million (£196millon) at the worldwide box office, while the most recent Kristen Stewart-starring 2019 reboot fizzled out with just $73million (£57.35million).
