The former Charlie’s Angel will team up with the geriatric producer to do an updated version of Satan's School for Girls for ABC (America)

Former Angel turned Scarecrow turned Satan buster

Most of us weren’t even born yet when Kate Jackson and Cheryl Ladd burned up the small screen in the original version of Satan’s School For Girls (1973). However, anyone who has seen a Charlies Angel’s rerun can probably imagine the very appealing Jackson playing a young woman investigating her sister's suicide who, during the course of her research, uncovers a Satanic cult (full of naughty little school girls).

Girls marks the first time Jackson and Spelling have worked together since the end of Angels. Jackson, who probably assumed Spelling was dead before this gig came around, has appeared in a seemingly endless number of cheesy TV movies, series, and failed pilots along with that show none of you probably watched, Scarecrow and Mrs. King.

Jackson isn’t the only Spelling disciple getting in on the action. In a delightful twist, the catty Shannen Doherty (Beverly Hills, 90210) has been signed to reprise Jackson’s original role.

Jackson will appropriately play a dean at the East Coast women's college attended by the dead sister. Considering this equation (network TV = no nudity), chances are good we won’t be watching.
