Ian McShane's BBC series Lovejoy may get a modern reboot

Deadline

The six-season 1986-94 BBC comedy-drama Lovejoy starred McShane in the title role as Lovejoy, a roguish antiques dealer. Lovejoy aired on A&E in the U.S. and was the subject of several remakes. Now Blue Sky Pictures is attempting another remake by obtaining the books Lovejoy is based on, written by John Grant, under the pen name Jonathan Gash. Blue Sky Pictures' Nick Witkowski says he planned to update Lovejoy "for the 21st century for both the millions who followed the original and a whole new generation of viewers."
