After nearly three decades, James Cameron’s True Lies is finally getting the long-promised continuation via a TV series from Burn Notice creator Matt Nix, McG and Cameron himself.
The trade notes that True Lies has been a passion project for McG, who began working on a series back in 2016 when he signed on with 20th TV and actually received a pilot commitment from the studio that never went past the script stage.
In a fortunate turn of events, McG met Nix while working on Hooch and the two joined forces on True Lies and pitched their idea to CBS last fall.
McG is set to direct the pilot from a script by Nix, who executive produces via his Flying Glass of Milk Productions.
