Deadline is reporting that Meagan Good is set to play the iconic role of Foxy Brown in a TV adaptation for Hulu. The series is based on the 1974 cult classic which starred Pam Grier in the role.
The series will be executive produced by DeVon Franklin and Tony Krantz. MGM TV is the studio.
Empire co-executive producer Malcolm Spellman and Hand of God creator Ben Watkins will write the TV version, a modern reimagining of the 1974 movie and the larger-than-life Foxy Brown character.
Good also will serve as a producer on the series, executive produced by her husband, producer Franklin via his Franklin Entertainment, Krantz through his Flame Ventures, showrunners Spellman and Watkins as well as Good’s managers at Untitled Entertainment, Jason Weinberg & Evan Hainey. Drew Comins of Flame will serve as co-executive producer.
The 1974 movie, written and directed by Jack Hill, followed Foxy Brown (Grier) as she sought revenge for the murder of her boyfriend by a drug syndicate. The original film was distributed by American International Pictures whose library is now owned by MGM subsidiary Orion Pictures Corporation, leading to MGM TV’s role as producer on the series.
Good was last seen recurring on CBS’ Code Black. Prior to that she was headlining the short-lived Fox series Minority Report, which was based on the Tom Cruise film. She was also the lead to NBC drama Deception, but that only lasted one season.
She will next be seen in the Lifetime movie Love By the 10th Date, which premieres on January 28th, and also will star in the feature Deuces. Earlier this year, Good published her first book, bestseller The Wait: A Powerful Practice for Finding the Love of Your Life and the Life You Love, which she co-wrote with Franklin.
