Raymond Chandler's Private Detective Philip Marlowe Character Returning To TV

Lesley Goldberg at the Hollywood Reporter offers a piece on the return of Raymond Chandler's Philip Marlowe character to TV. 

Castle creator Andrew Marlowe is bringing Raymond Chandler's famed detective Philip Marlowe back to life.

The showrunner behind the Nathan Fillion starrer is teaming with Castle writer/consulting producer Terri Edda Miller and prolific producer Michael De Luca (The Social Network) for an untitled Philip Marlowe drama set up at ABC with a script commitment.

The drama is described as a smart, sexy and stylish update of Chandler's timeless character. It follows the investigations of the wisecracking, edgy and rugged private detective, Philip Marlowe, as he navigates the morally complicated world of today's Los Angeles, where the California sun casts long and dangerous shadows, and where true love can be more difficult to find that justice.
