LOS ANGELES, Jan 31 () - NBC is getting together with some "Bad Girls" -- and they're going about it in a "Shameless" way.

The network has given the go-ahead to "Shameless" showrunner and "E.R." creator John Wells' one-hour drama pilot "Bad Girls," an adaptation of the British crime drama of the same name. Wells will executive-produce the pilot, a women-in-prison affair that centers around a scandalous female warden, her lackey and a host of female inmates "who struggle with loyalties to people on the inside and outside."

Andrew Stearn and Nancy Pimental will also executive-produce. "Shameless" writer Nancy Pimental, who was also a staff writer on "South Park," is writing the pilot.

Shed Media -- which produced the British series -- and John Wells Productions are producing, in association with Warner Bros. Television.

NBC电视网宣布将翻拍英剧《女囚犯》(Bad Girls),同名美版剧集将由《无耻之徒》(Shameless)主创约翰·韦尔斯(John Wells)担任制作人。

英剧《女囚犯》于1999年到2006年期间,在ITV电视台播出,讲述了一座女子监狱中犯人以及警察的故事。该剧共播出8季,主要演员有黛布拉·斯蒂芬森(Debra Stephenson)、艾克·艾里斯(ack Ellis)和琳达·亨利(Linda Henry)。

NBC电视网翻拍《女囚犯》之前,FX电视台曾在2006年试图翻拍该剧,但该计划随后被取消。此后,HBO电视台也计划翻拍,并敲定由《真爱如血》(True Blood)主创艾伦·鲍尔(Alan Ball)担任制作人,然而,该计划在2008年被放弃。

重新启动的美版《女囚犯》,由《无耻之徒》主创约翰·韦尔斯联合安德鲁·斯蒂尔(Andrew Stearn)和南希·皮门特(Nancy Pimental)共同担任制作人,同时参与制作的还包括来自英国Shed媒体公司制作团队。该剧目前获得NBC电视网导航集预定,具体播出计划尚不得而知。
