After two decades: "Eli Makbil" will return for a continuation series Israel today

The award-winning legal drama series starring Calista Flockhart will return to the screens in a remake of a sort of sequel • Will the main star return and participate in it?


It seems that Eli McBeal and the team of eccentric employees of the "Cage & Fish" law firm will return to our lives in the coming years, after more than two decades of absence from the screens.

At the end of the week it was reported that the American television network ABC, which is owned by Disney, is working on a sequel/reboot series to the award-winning legal drama comedy "Ellie McBeal", which aired for 5 seasons between 1997 and 2002.

It should be noted that this is not a direct sequel series and it is not at all certain that the new production will be called "Eli McBeal", since the main character in it will be a young African-American lawyer, who joins the current incarnation of "Cage and Fish".

Estimates are that the character will actually be the daughter of Renee Reddick, Makbeel's partner and best friend from the original series, who was played by actress Lisa Nicole Carson.

And to the million dollar question: which of the old stars, led by Calista Flockhart who of course played Eli Makbeel, will return to the new series?

It is currently too early to tell, but it has been learned that ABC approached the 57-year-old Flockhart and offered her a part in the production.

Since all the other main stars are still alive and in their 50s and 60s - it is not impossible that we will see some of them in the sequel, especially Peter McNicol and Greg German, who respectively played the heads of the office, John Cage and Richard Fish , and of course you are Carson - the main character's mother.  

Will you come back to me?

However, although series creator David E. Kelly has given his blessing for the sequel, he will not be involved.

In the past, Kelly said that if "Eli Makbeel" returns to the screens, then it is better for a woman to take the reins behind the scenes.

Indeed, the writer and main producer of the nascent project will be the creator Karin Gist, who has a considerable number of credits in well-known series, such as "Grey's Anatomy", "Home Ground" and more. 

Almost the entire main cast of "Eli Makbeel" hasn't stopped working since the series went off the screens.

Flockhart herself starred in the "Supergirl" series from DC Comics in recent years;

German appeared as an important character in "Grey's Anatomy", while McNicol participated in the series "The Court!".

Among the other actors, Lucy Lu (Ling) starred in the series "Elementary" and "Why Women Kill", alongside quite a few films such as "Charlie's Angels";

Jane Krakowski (Elaine) soldiered on in "30 Rock";

Courtney Thorne Smith (Georgia) appeared in "Two and a Half Men";

Porcia de Rossi (Nell) starred in "Family in Trouble";

And we heard quite a bit about Robert Downey Jr., who joined "Ally McBeal" only in its fourth season and played Larry.
