LOS ANGELES, Nov. 13 (UPI) -- A contemporary remake of the popular 1970s U.S. television series "Charlie's Angels" is in the works, industry sources told Variety.

ABC is expected to order a pilot for the new "Angels" soon with Josh Friedman, who recently worked on "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles," set to be the writer and executive producer, the entertainment industry trade newspaper said.

The original version of the show about a team of gorgeous female private detectives directed by a mysterious boss ran from 1976-81 and starred the late Farrah Fawcett, Kate Jackson and Jaclyn Smith.

It also was adapted for the big screen twice in the early 2000s with Drew Barrymore, Cameron Diaz and Lucy Liu playing the sexy crimefighters.
