The original movie's director Antoine Fuqua is back for this pilot, which picks up 15 years after the film and is set in the modern-day Los Angeles Police Department, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
As well as directing, Fuqua will executive produce alongside Jonathan Littman and Gangster Squad's Will Beall, a former LAPD detective who is also writing the pilot.
2001 film "Training Day" starred Denzel Washington and Ethan Hawke as two LAPD officers over a 24-hour period in the rough neighbourhoods of South Central Los Angeles.
"Training Day" isn't the only Hollywood film heading to TV at CBS, with the network also working on series for "Limitless" and "Rush Hour".
