Here's the latest I could gather on Miami Vice, focusing on recent entertainment news about a potential reboot or film projects.
What’s new
- There have been reports in 2025 about a Miami Vice reboot for cinema, with Joseph Kosinski attached as director and discussions around casting for the iconic Crockett and Tubbs roles. This has included speculation that Michael B. Jordan could be involved in the project. These developments suggest a high-profile revival aiming for a Summer 2027 release window in some outlets.

Key details and context
- Project status: Early-stage talks and development chatter, with several outlets highlighting a reboot rather than a direct continuation of the original TV series. No authoritative final green light or confirmed cast has been universally published as of the latest updates.
- Creative team: Joseph Kosinski mentioned as director in multiple reports; discussions around casting include Michael B. Jordan as a potential Tubbs and Glen Powell as a possible Crockett in some rumors. These names appear across entertainment-focused coverage, but confirmation from studios remains pending.
- Release timing: Some reports point to a 2027 release target, but release dates are not officially announced by a studio press release or verified trade publication as of the latest coverage.
How this compares to earlier Miami Vice projects
- Original series: The 1980s NEtwork series is iconic for its pastel aesthetic and soundtrack, established by its own era and style; a reboot would aim to reboot the look and feel for a contemporary audience.
- Past attempts: There have been various rumors and discussions about revivals or reimaginings over the years, but concrete, rollout-ready projects with confirmed cast have been scarce prior to 2025-2026 activity.
Illustrative example
- If the reboot proceeds as reported, it would likely combine modern action-thriller sensibilities with Miami’s distinctive vibe, similar to how other classic 80s properties have been reimagined for today’s audiences (e.g., updated pacing, contemporary production design, and current-generation leads).
What I can do next
- If you’d like, I can monitor for official confirmations (casting, director, and release date) and summarize any studio announcements as soon as they’re published.
- I can also compile a brief side-by-side comparison once more concrete details (cast, tone, and format) are confirmed.
