Don Johnson-Starring 'Nash Bridges' Revival in Development at USA Network
It's time for more "Nash Bridges."
USA Network has a revival of the police drama in the works and original star Don Johnson is set to return, THR reports. The project is still in the early stages of development, per the publications sources, but the plan is to make a two-hour TV special. From there, it could reportedly grow into a series. USA Network representatives have not commented.
The special will take place around 2020, when Nash Bridges is still head of the San Francisco Police Departments Special Investigations Unit (SIU). He'll have to deal with a changing city and job, a new boss, and new technology. During the show's earlier six-season run from 1996 to 2001, he juggled parenting, his aging father, a new partner, and more.
So far, Johnson is the only cast member to have signed on. It remains to be seen if any of his former co-stars will reprise their roles. The show starred Johnson, Cheech Marin, James Gammon, Jodi Lyn O'Keefe, and Jeff Perry, among others.
Carlton Cuse, the creator of "Nash Bridges," is not part of the project. Johnson will co-create the special with Bill Chais ("The Practice"). It comes from Village Roadshow, with Johnson, Chais, and Marc Rosen set to serve as executive producers.
