The plans for a remake of the 80s sci fi series, "V", were announced last October, but is has taken ABC a few months to decide just how to put a modern spin on the show. Their answer, turn the show into a family themed drama.
Scott Peters (The 4400) will helm this updated version of the alien invasion franchise, which will revolve around a female Homeland Security officer and the issues that arise inside her family when the "Visitors" arrive with their message of peace and friendship.
Reportedly the son of the agent will be drawn into fake ploys put into place by the lizard-like aliens, which will cause conflicts with his mother.
Back in October when the news of a new "V" series first was released, the creater of the original series, Kenneth Johnson, voiced his displeasure that ABC was going forward with the project without him. According to Johnson, he had pitched the idea for a series entitled, "V: The Second Generation", to ABC and they had told him, "No Thanks."
It was a short time later that plans for this new "V" series were announced.
