A new “Rush Hour” TV series is in development courtesy of “Beverly Hills Cop IV” director Brett Ratner. He and TV vet Bill Lawrence (Scrubs, Cougar Town) have closed a deal with Warner Bros. TV to co-write and executive produce an hourlong action comedy adaptation of the Rush Hour franchise. ...

Once again, the the story will pair a loudmouthed LAPD officer with a more reserved representative of the Hong Kong police, who Lawrence now confirms will be the same Detectives Lee and Carter.

“New plot, same characters,” he told the outlet. “A little younger, a little different, fish out of water. It’s a cool script. I’m psyched about it.”

When asked if he’s looking into casting an actor with martial arts experience, Lawrence revealed that it was not necessarily a requirement.

“The character will be a martial artist,” he said, “but you know how TV works. I’m going to go with the best actor and then I’ll make anything work.”
