The recently announced, but still officially untitled NBC pilot order of Bad Boys continues to develop this week with news of its first official casting in original Ghostbusters star Ernie Hudson.
Although Hudson’s Joseph Burnett in this Bad Boys series pilot is new to the franchise, fans will remember Union’s character from Bad Boys II.
The planned series, which NBC won a bidding war against several networks, is a spinoff from the events of Bad Boys II.
Deadline is reporting Hudson has joined the project to play Joseph Burnett, father of Gabrielle Union’s Sydney ‘Syd’ Burnett.
