Deadline reports that the Sylvester Stallone-created franchise âThe Expendablesâ is headed to television! FOX is developing the franchise as an event series which is being described as a âfun action drama.â The producers of the series are planning to use it as a vehicle to unite iconic TV stars âas a new team of highly-skilled heroes who are on a mission to stop a dangerous terrorist.â
Stallone will produce the series along with the filmsâ producer Avi Lerner. Ride Alongâs Greg Coolidge and Kirk Ward will write and executive produce the event along with âNCIS: LAâ executive producer/showrunner Shane Brennan.
Despite being less-than-well received, the three âExpendablesâ films have grossed over $780 million at the global box office. A female spin-off, titled The Expendabelles is still in development, with the outlet noting that a fourth and fifth âExpendablesâ are also in the cards at Lionsgate.
