NBC Axes Murder She Wrote Reboot


Back in October it was announced that Oscar winning actress Octavia Spencer would star in a re-imagining of the long-running TV series Murder She Wrote [click here if you missed that].

Change of plans...

NBC has decided against moving forward with the project.

According to Deadline, after filming a pilot with Octavia cast as a hospital administrator turned amateur sleuth who self-publishes her first mystery novel, writers found rebooting the series too difficult and the idea was scrapped.
