ABC Acquire's "MI-5"
ABC has been thinking about spies as of late, hiring Smallville creators Al Gough and Miles Millar to develop Charlie's Angels, and considering a new version of J.J. Abrams' Alias, but it seems they've elected to pursue an American version of the British series, MI-5.
Deadline.com reports, "Spooks, created by David Wolstencroft, follows the work of a group of MI5 officers based at the service's Thames House headquarters in highly secure offices known as The Grid. The spy drama, one of the U.K.’s top series of this decade, launched in 2002, with a new season scheduled to premiere this fall. Spooks also has become one of the most recognizable British series in the U.S. in a long while. Under the title MI-5, it has aired in the U.S. on A&E, BBC America and PBS."
