He can fix anything! MacGyver reboot of popular ’80s show about a 20-something genius gets pilot order from CBS

The original MacGyver starred Richard Dean Anderson as the guy who could get out of any scrape with just a hairpin and duct tape.

 

Die-hard fans might be in for a treat now that a reboot of the mid-80s series has been officially greenlighted for a pilot by CBS.

 

The new series has been totally ‘re-imagined’ and follows ‘a 20-something MacGyver’ with an unusual ability to fix near-disasters using ‘unconventional ways,’ according to The Hollywood Reporter.

 

The first MacGyver with Anderson in the title role was a hit and ran for seven seasons on CBS, 1985 to 1992.
 
James Wan of Furious 7 fame is directing and executive producing the pilot, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
