Gabrielle Union is wasting no time landing another role as BET series Being Mary Jane comes to an end.
Deadline.com reports that Union will assume the starring role in a TV spinoff of the popular Bad Boys movie franchise headed to NBC.
The project, centered on the Special Agent Syd Burnett character played by Union in 2003’s Bad Boys II who is making a cross-country move from Miami to Los Angeles, was taken to the marketplace last week by Bad Boys movies’ producer Jerry Bruckheimer via Jerry Bruckheimer TV, Doug Belgrad via his 2.0 Entertainment, and Primary Wave Entertainment. Sony Pictures TV Studios, whose movie sibling is behind the feature franchise, is the studio.
The yet-to-be titled series will feature Union’s character Burnett as an LAPD detective looking to leave her past behind her.
