After spending years in development, Amazon MGM Studios has officially given the green light to a Robocop TV series, bringing one of sci-fi's most iconic franchises back to the screen. This time, the story is being reimagined as a television series with Peter Ocko (Lodge 49) serving as writer, executive producer, and showrunner, while James Wan and Blumhouse Atomic Monster are helping lead the charge. The original Robocop introduced audiences to Alex Murphy, a Detroit police officer who is brutally killed in the line of duty before being rebuilt as the powerful cybernetic law enforcer RoboCop. The franchise expanded with Robocop 2 in 1990, Robocop 3 in 1993, and a 2014 remake. That relevance is something Amazon MGM Studios is hoping to tap into with the new series.
