ABC is developing a contemporary Philip Marlowe series

Castle showrunner Andrew Marlowe is developing a new show for ABC, based on Raymond Chandler’s famous (unrelated) detective Philip Marlowe. Marlowe and Castle writer Terri Edda Miller are penning the script, which is described as a “sexy and stylish” update on the wisecracking, Los Angeles-based private eye who frequently finds himself embroiled in dangerous dealings on the wrong side of the tracks.
