Every New Scripted Show Confirmed to Premiere in 2025 -- Save the Dates!
The original T.J. Hooker premiered as a midseason replacement in March 1982, and starred Star Trek veteran Shatner as Thomas Jefferson "T. J." Hooker, a sergeant in the Los Angeles County Police Department who was determined to rid the streets of criminals like those who murdered his former partner.
The cast initially included Adrian Zmed (as Officer Vincent "Vince" Romano), April Clough (as Officer Vicki Taylor) and Richard Herd (as Captain Dennis Sheridan). Clough departed after Season 1, at which point Heather Locklear joined the ensemble (as Officer Stacy Sheridan). James Darren (as Officer Jim Corrigan) and Hugh Farrington (as Detective Lieutenant Pete O'Brien) also co-starred.
When ABC cancelled the series after four seasons, CBS swooped in and gave it a fifth (and final) season. All told, 91 episodes were produced and currently stream on Tubi.
The reboot news follows the theatrical release of the new Naked Gun starring Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson, which made $17 million domestically on opening weekend. According to Deadline, it is unclear if Shatner will have any involvement in the new T.J. Hooker -- but TVLine will keep you posted as we learn more.
