The CW has picked up a pilot order for a revamped version of the 1990 cult classic French film La Femme Nikita.

Terminator Salvation director McG has been tapped to executive produce the project, in cooperation with Warner Bros’ Peter Johnson and Wonderland Productions, The Hollywood Reporter revealed on Wednesday.

The original series was based on the 1990 French film Nikita, directed by Luc Besson. Bridgett Fonda starred in a 1993 American adaptation Point of No Return. With Peta Wilson in the signature role, the franchise first moved to TV in 1997 as a weekly drama on The USA Network before it was cancelled in 2001.

The CW’s Nikita will see the kick-ass secret agent going rogue and a new assassin being trained to replace her.
