The Greatest American Hero

Believe it or not, The Greatest American Hero is getting yet a third chance at a reboot. A brand-new take on the 1981 Stephen J. Cannell classic is coming to ABC, tweaking the premise to include an Indian-American female lead.

Back in the days of yore, or at least 2014, FOX tapped Lord and Miller to reboot 1981 Stephen J. Cannell classic The Greatest American Hero for a new series, though plans seem to have lost steam, until now. Believe it or not, the reboot will walk on air a second time, as FOX issues a pilot production commitment with a new writer.

Well, if FOX is going to have a Batman series without Batman, they'll need another classic superhero to balance everything out. Enter a brand-new shining reboot of 80's cult classic 'The Greatest American Hero,' as brought to life by Hollywood's golden duo of Phil Lord and Chris Miller!
