Amazon MGM Studios is developing a Totally Spies live-action series based on the classic animated series from the early 2000s. It will be executively produced by Will Ferrell.
“The live-action series will follow iconic best friends Clover, Alex and Sam as they navigate saving the world as international spies while trying to survive the ups and downs of first year college life,” reads the logline.
At the moment, the project currently has no writer or cast members. Based on the original animated series created by Vincent Chalvon-Demersay and David Michel, the Totally Spies live-action series will also have executive producers Jessica Elbaum and Alix Taylor for Gloria Sanchez Productions on board alongside Benoît Di Sabatino for Banijay Kids & Family. It is co-production between Amazon MGM Studios and Banijay Kids & Family.
“Will, Alix and I are thrilled to be joining our partners at Amazon and Banijay to bring ‘Totally Spies!’ to life as a live-action show,” Elbaum said in a statement (via Variety). “Gloria Sanchez was originally founded to tell stories about complicated characters and empower female voices and storytellers. As longtime fans of the animated show, we couldn’t think of a story more fitting to our ethos. The themes of girl-power, never sacrificing friendship, fun, or your true self to be successful resonated with us then, and feel ripe to revisit now.”
