This new proposed series, Drop Dead Dave, will come from Josh Berman and Jamie Babbit. Deadline revealed the following about the CBS reboot premise:
“In Drop Dead Dave, written by Berman and to be directed by Babbit, when shallow, entitled, Gen Z lawyer Dave dies in a freak accident, his soul is transferred into the body of Rita, a successful but complicated Gen X attorney, forcing Dave to live as a woman and navigate an entirely new perspective on life, love and identity.”
If it makes it to air, the series will tackle sexual politics and gender identity. A cast for the possible series will be announced at a later date.
