‘Bad Boys’ TV Series Starring Gabrielle Union is in the Works

Though another movie sequel is unlikely to happen, Bad Boys could be getting a TV spinoff that would focus on Gabrielle Union’s character.

According to Deadline, the untitled project is currently being pitched to networks, and would focus on Gabrielle Union’s character from Bad Boys II. If you recall, Union played Special Agent Sydney “Syd” Burnett, an undercover agent with the DEA. She’s also the sister of Detective Lieutenant Marcus Burnett (Martin Lawrence), and became romantically involved with Marcus’ partner, Detective Lieutenant Mike Lowrey (Will Smith).

The script is being written by  writer-producers from The Blacklist Brandon: Margolis and Brandon Sonnier. This new series comes at a time when Union’s current TV series, Being Mary Jane, is wrapping up next year with a series finale movie.

Now, as Deadline points out, there are no official comments on the project yet. The idea and production side of it came from Union’s management company, so stay tuned as the story develops.
