Before filmmaker James Wan ventures to the high seas, he’ll be putting his talents to use on a project of a very different sort. Fresh off the box office success of The Conjuring 2, Wan has signed on to direct a rebooted pilot for the CBS series MacGyver, which picked up a series order last month. CBS greenlit the show based on a pilot that will now be completely scrapped, with THR reporting that star Lucas Till (X-Men: Apocalypse) and CSI alum George Eads serving as the only two castmembers that remain. With Wan at the helm, a new version of the show’s first episode will be conceived and shot before the series debuts on CBS this fall.

Wan was actualy originally set to direct the MacGyver pilot when it landed a pilot order from CBS, but had to drop out due to scheduling issues—perhaps due to the fact that Wan came up with an idea to change the Big Bad of The Conjuring 2 from a demon to a nun well after the movie had wrapped, resulting in some new post-production work and reshoots. Veteran TV director David Von Ancken (Hell on Wheels, Californication) replaced Wan, and now Wan will be replacing Von Ancken.

Wan, of course, is the filmmaker who originated the Saw series and honed his craft in the horror genre before making the jump to blockbusters with the worldwide box office smash Furious 7. He is next set to direct Aquaman as part of the DC Extended Universe for Warner Bros., starring Jason Momoa, but with the July 2018 release date still a ways off and Momoa and Amber Heard occupied shooting Justice League, it appears Wan is keeping busy by taking his talents to television with MacGyver—which marks his TV debut.

Wan will also carry an executive producer credit on the series, which has gone through a number of writers since its inception. Fresh off The Conjuring 2’s successful opening weekend, Wan also signed on to produce the comic adaptation Malignant Man with Brad Peyton (San Andreas) directing and has put into motion plans for another Conjuring spinoff, The Nun. Filming on Aquaman likely won’t begin until next year, so it’ll be interesting to see if Wan continues to play around in the TV realm or if he’ll simply focus on continuing to develop the screenplay for that DC Comics adaptation.
