In 1998, a made for television movie sequel entitled CHiPs ‘99 was created by TNT, as the network’s parent company owns the rights to the show.
In 2003, a new series of “CHiPs” was to be made in San Francisco with a new cast. Martin Kunert and Eric Manes wrote the pilot script for Doug Liman to direct. However, the network that ordered the remake, NBC, decided not to pursue the new series.
In 2005, a theatrical release motion picture version of the show was announced, starring Wilmer Valderrama as Ponch. The movie is tentatively set to be released in 2009. The choice of Valderrama as Ponch will not be the first time that the actor has played the character of Ponch; MADtv featured during 2002, Valderrama and fellow That 70s Show cast member Danny Masterson were featured in several recurring parodies of “CHiPs”, which featured the two actors as Ponch and Baker respectively. Also in a 2002 episode of That 70’s Show, Wilmer’s character, Fez, was seen in the “most likely” section of the yearbook to appear as Ponch in a musical version of CHiPs.
