Now that the remake has moved to ABC and has Simone taking the lead, maybe the time has finally come both for the The Greatest American Hero to have a successful remake and for that Greatest American Hero to be a woman.
Hannah Simone has been cast as The Greatest American Hero.
In the reboot of The Greatest American Hero – an hour long comedy show that aired for three seasons in the early 80s – Simone will play Meera, the show’s main character.
The first attempt to make The Greatest American Hero a female-led show was actually an attempted spin-off of the original series titled The Greatest American Heroine, which never got beyond a movie that was edited to be the final episode of the original show.
