The television reboot of 'MacGyver' has reportedly been picked up by CBS for the 2016-2017 season. The series will star X-men actor Lucas Till "as he creates a clandestine organization where he uses his knack for solving problems in unconventional ways to help prevent disasters from happening." Sources say the show will serve as a prequel to the original 1985 series, when MacGyver was played by Richard Dean Anderson.
