Jamie Lee Curtis has confirmed her involvement in the Murder, She Wrote reboot.
The classic series starred Angela Lansbury as Jessica Fletcher, a crime writer who solved mysterious murders in the fictional town of Cabot Cove, Maine. The show ran for 12 seasons from 1984 to 1996, and went on to receive four television films.
In 2023, a reboot movie was announced, with Orange Is the New Black duo Rebecca Angelo and Lauren Schuker Blum on board to write and executive produce.
Meanwhile, Curtis was reportedly set to take on the iconic lead role - a rumour which she has now officially confirmed.
Speaking with Entertainment Tonight, the actor was asked about the possibility of a Murder, She Wrote reboot.

"Oh it's..." Curtis began, taking a dramatic pause. She grinned at the camera before concluding her sentence: "Happening."
"We're a minute away. But very excited. Very excited," Curtis continued. "But I'm tamping down my enthusiasm until we start shooting. I have a couple other things to hustle and then I'll get to enjoy that work."
