New MacGyver will probably be a woman
The creator of the original MacGyver, Lee Zlotoff, has organized a crowdsourcing competition for new ideas about MacGyver. Anyone around the world can submit ideas and five winners will get the chance to work with a Hollywood producer to develop the character and write a pilot script.
There's just one requirement: The new MacGyver has to be a woman. The producers have also expressed excitement in the character being from any racial background.
