ABC to retool the NYPD Blue reboot pilot for a possible midseason pickup

Deadline

"With an iconic title like NYPD Blue, if you do a reboot, you need to nail every aspect of it with no margin for error," reports Deadline's Nellie Andreeva. "For that reason, I hear that ABC’s NYPD Blue pilot will not be going for fall. I hear ABC brass remain high on the project but feel it needs a little more work. The pilot, among the buzziest dramas at ABC this season, will be tweaked and likely undergo some reshoots for midseason consideration." ALSO: ABC is also retooling Heart of Life, the John Mayer song-inspired drama pilot.
