It’s totally cool news! A live-action Totally Spies TV series is in the works at Amazon, and Will Farrell will serve as an executive producer on the show. The series will be brought to life in collaboration with Banijay Kids & Family.
Anyone who grew up in the early oughts will, of course, remember the brightly colored spy team. Who doesn’t love fashion-forward secret agents who also have to deal with getting to class on time? Battling evil while keeping grades up sounds like the perfect recipe for a delightful YA show. Honestly, this feels to us in conversation with the Legally Blonde prequel series also coming soon to Amazon.
Variety reports, “Described as a YA adaptation of the long-running Banijay Kids animated show of the same name, the new Totally Spies! 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.” We totally like the college update. Maybe Elle Woods can join as the fourth pink member of this squad.
As of now, no writer or talent is attached to this live-action Totally Spies! project. But we’re sure long-time fans are fan-casting the team already… Maybe Will Farrell could make some kind of guest appearance on the Totally Spies! live-action series as well as executive producing it.
