"Revealed to Collider, McG (The Babysitter, Rim of the World) is developing a “True Lies” TV series for Disney+, and he’s been given James Cameron’s personal blessing.

He also added that the story has been “largely rebooted,” but that an appearance from Schwarzenegger is always a possibility. “There’s talk of that,” he told the podcast."

Nice clip, MonnoM. It'll be interesting to see how they spin out the story. Likely it won't follow the movie line. True Lies was one of the great comedy/romance/intrigue films of the modern era.

The movie was entertaining but I couldn't help thinking how much better it would have been if the lead had been played by an actor who looked like an everyday person. It has the premise for a more realistic (yet humorous) film and they went over the top with it in some scenes.
