"Channing Dungey, President ABC Entertainment, spoke with reporters about the network’s upcoming pilot slate after her Television Critics Association executive session. One in development is a gender flipped Indian-American Greatest American Hero from Fresh off the Boat showrunner Nahnatchka Khan.
“We’re actually developing a reboot of The Greatest American Hero that stars an Indian American woman,” Dungey said.
The original series, which ran from 1981-1983, starred William Katt as a teacher who gains super powers from an alien suit. His lack of ability and finesse led to comedy. Although the network has Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. on its slate and has aired several Marvel spinoffs, ABC is not averse to scheduling more."
