A proposed reboot of The Rifleman is one of the many projects that has yet to emerge from development hell.

The Big Picture The Western genre has evolved over time as filmmakers find new ways to approach these classic stories. Westerns have been popular ever since the 1930s, but in recent years, they’ve been particularly popular on television. Western-centric shows like Yellowstone, Westworld, Justified, and Deadwood, among others, have shown that there are still stories worth telling about the Wild West; it just takes a talented group of storytellers to find a way to modernize the material.

Details about the project were scarce, but the reboot would have followed a similar story and structure to the original series. The Rifleman had first aired on ABC in September 1958 and had drawn in a considerable fan base by the time it concluded in 1963. The series starred Chuck Connors as the retired American Civil War veteran Lucas McCain, who raises his son Mark after the death of his wife.

‘The Rifleman’ Was Refreshingly Modern Compared to other classic Western television shows, The Rifleman’s characters were unique. The depiction of McCain as a single father was also notable, as it was a more all-encompassing view of masculinity than most television shows were capable of at the time. Given how modern The Rifleman felt with its nuanced social themes, there was a lot of room for a reboot to capitalize on the original show’s name recognition and adapt itself to modern times.

What’s disappointing about The Rifleman reboot being shelved is that it came right before Western television was about to start a new renaissance. The success of Justified on FX proved that audiences were still interested in seeing serialized Western adventure on television; in the last few years, the dominance of Yellowstone has proven that the genre can still produce new blockbuster-sized hits.
