A new “Wiseguy” movie is being developed by producers Sophie Cassidy and Jeff Katz, based on the 1987 CBS, Vancouver-lensed, Stephen J. Cannell crime thriller TV series, starring Ken Wahl as an undercover agent for the FBI and Jonathan Banks (“Breaking Bad”) as fellow “Agent Frank McPike’, who will return for the new film:
“…’Vincent Terranova’, an Italian-born undercover agent with the ‘Organized Crime Bureau’ (OCB), a division of the ‘FBI’, infiltrates dangerous criminal organizations, with the confidence of his fellow agent ‘Sgt. McPike’.
“Terranova struggles to maintain his identity while becoming close to the criminal leaders he is tasked with bringing down…”
The series is noted for its serialized storytelling, where each episode contributes to a larger, self-contained story that concludes within a cycle of episodes.
