So Who Do You Want To See Cast In The New Charlie's Angels TV Series?

I just heard that ABC has given the green light for a brand new series based on the 1970s series Charlie's Angels that launched several careers including of course Farrah Fawcett. In case you don't remember (or are too young to have seen the original), here's the opening from the pilot:



The series was put together by Aaron Spelling and ran from 1976-81 although Fawcett left after the first year. Jaclyn Smith and Kate Jackson stayed for the full run, but were joined by Cheryl Ladd from the 2nd season on as the younger sister of Fawcett's character. Fawcett is listed in the credits as "Fawcett-Majors" as she was still married to Lee Majors of "The Fall Guy" fame at the time.

The series was brought to the big screen in 2000 with Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu as the three private investigators as well as a sequel (Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle) in 2003. Barrymore actually appear to be involved in this latest incarnation of the potential series, but will not be on screen. She is involved in this project more along the lines as a producer. The folks who did the series Smallville will be looking after the on-set/on-camera activity. Also, the series will reportedly be based in Miami rather than California.

So, who do think should be cast as one of the lovely Angels? And who will get to play Bosley? And who will be the voice of Charlie himself now that John Forsythe who originally voice Charlie in the series (and the 2 movies) has passed on? And will he be seen in this new version.

Lots of questions, but obviously the casting of the 3 main characters is what will be of the most interest. Some young unknown or one or more of the various starlets around Hollywood.

  1. The first of the new Charlie's Angels has been announced. It is Annie Ilonzeh who was previously on General Hospital.
    The characters names will be Kate, Abby and Marisa, with Ilonzeh playing Kate who is described as very smart, an athletic ex-cop who is also a master of martial arts. Ilonzeh was also recently seen on Entourage.

    A couple of other names floating around as possibilities for the other two Angels are Katie Cassidy (daughter of The Partridge Family's David Cassidy) and the the uber-hot Odette Yustman.
