Iconic 80s TV show Magnum P.I. is about to get the reboot treatment.

Actress Eva Longoria is engineering a comeback for the Hawaii-based detective series through her UnbeliEVAble Entertainment production company, Deadline.com reported Thursday.

But fans of Tom Selleck need not hold their breath; the new incarnation will have a female lead - Magnum's now grown-up daughter Lily.

Longoria has successfully pitched the idea to ABC, for whom she starred on the hit series Desperate Housewives.

She and producing partner Ben Spector are working with Leverage creator John Rogers to develop the new Magnum idea.

In the series finale of the crime drama, Magnum gets custody of his young daughter by ex-wife Michelle following her death.

The idea for the reboot is that Lily Magnum is now all grown up and returns to Hawaii to take up leadership of her father's private investigator firm.

Deadline reports that the basic plot will be as follows: 'She and her tribe of friends mix tropical beaches with the seedy underbelly of international crime and modern espionage, even as she tries to unravel the mystery of the blown spy operation that ended her career in Navy Intelligence.'

Longoria and Spector recently executive produced the NBC comedy series Telenovela, in which Longoria also starred. That show was canceled after one season.
