The new show, which revives a classic and much-beloved detective series of the 1970s, will debut early next year on NBC. According to reports, the reboot of The Rockford Files, which has had Boreanaz attached for a while, has been added to NBC's winter schedule for January 2027. Boreanaz will be playing Jim Rockford, a recent parolee who — you'll never believe it — was sent to prison for a crime he didn't commit!
But now he's back in LA as a private investigator, trying to right wrongs, put his life back together and move on, only to find himself caught between law enforcement and organized crime. The series will also feature Michaela McManus (9-1-1: Lone Star) as Kate, an LAPD detective who was romantically involved with Rockford until he blamed other cops for framing him; Jacki Weaver (Silver Linings Playbook) as Rockford's trailer-park neighbor who loves activism; and Felix Solis (The Rookie) as Nitty, a defense attorney who's also Rockford's best friend.
The original series was created by Roy Huggins (Maverick) and Stephen J. Cannell (The A-Team), and was an early showcase for the writing of future Sopranos creator David Chase. This iteration of The Rockford Files is created by Mike Daniels (Ponies, Sons of Anarchy). It will be produced by Sarah Timberman and Carl Beverly for Universal Television. Its pilot will be directed by Greg Mottola (Superbad)
