ITV's Wire in the Blood is the latest UK drama to be eyed for a Us TV remake.
ABC - also working on a Silk remake - is planning to adapt the Robson Green series, Deadline reports.
The original Wire in the Blood ran for six series between 2002 and 2008 and was based on characters created by Scottish crime writer Val McDermid.
Green starred as troubled psychologist Dr Tony Hill, with Hermione Norris playing his partner Dci Carol Jordan for the first three series. Simone Lahbib later replaced Norris as a new character, Di Alex Fielding.
The new Us version will be written by Am Holmes - crime novelist and formerly producer of Showtime's The L Word
