Cameron is signed on as an executive producer of the potential series, marking a return to Fox afterTerminator: The Sarah Connor Chroniclesran on the web connection from 2008-2009.
He was previously behind a potentialTrue Liesreboot at ABCback in 2010, but that project despite a similarly large penalty never came to fruition.
True Liesexplores the life of U.S. government agent Harry Tasker, a spy who must balance his work and family duties a challenge which becomes increasingly complicated when his wife Helen (Curtis), eager for adventure, gets in on the espionage.
The film was the third highest-grossing movie of 1994 banking $378.9 million worldwide behindThe Lion KingandForrest Gump, and Curtis won the Golden Globe for Best Actress (Musical or Comedy).
McG is set to direct the pilot, which is being produced by Wonderland and Lightstorm in association with 20th Century Fox TV.
Its familiar territory for the prolific director, who was behind the camera for Foxs successfulLethal Weaponreboot just last year.
