NBC’s planned PRIME SUSPECT remake is being pushed back.
Reuters is reporting that casting problems have led NBC to postpone production on the pilot. Show producers have struggled in casting the lead. That does not mean the proposed show is dead, just on hold. Plans are to revisit the project in June.
PRIME SUSPECT is based on the amazing, award-winning BBC series. Oscar (and BAFTA, Golden Globe, Emmy) winner Helen Mirren played DCI Jane Tennison, a lead detective dealing not only with her cases but the politics of the department. The original is true magic.
