The fan-favorite '90s action-comedy True Lies is coming to the small screen, courtesy of CBS, and the show's stars say it has real stunts and great style, as well as the "iconic" Beverly D'Angelo. In the show, actors Steve Howey (Shameless, Reba) and Ginger Gonzaga (She-Hulk: Attorney at Law) portray super-spy Harry Tasker and his lovably quirky wife Helen, who is oblivious to Harry's double life. The roles were famously originated by Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jamie Lee Curtis, respectively, in the 1994 James Cameron spy film.
PopCulture.com had a chance to catch up with Howey and Gonzaga to chat about the new show, which Howey confessed he was eager to join after being a fan of all the classic Schwarzenegger action films as a kid. "Growing up with Conan, Commando, Terminator... if you grew up in that time, obviously, he was an iconic action star and that was really exciting," he said.
For her part, Gonzaga came to True Lies after working opposite Tatiana Maslany on the Marvel/Disney+ series She-Hulk: Attorney at Law. In that series, much of her acting had to be done while Maslany was in a mocap suit that increased her size, which made it much easier to go into working with Howey and Omar Miller - who plays Albert "Gib" Gibson, the role originally played by Tom Arnold in the film - as both men are well over six feet tall. "It's so funny," she said. "Well, first of all, I'm lucky that I went from Tatiana to Steve because they're both, I've been so lucky. They're both so rad and they're both so fun to work with. So I was just lucky and then lucky again. "
True Lies debuts Wednesday, March 1 at 10 p.m. ET/9 p.m. CT, on CBS. True Lies will also stream live on Paramount+, with new episodes available to watch anytime the day after live broadcast. #TrueLies
