The reboot is described as a "reimagining" of the show which turned Richard Dean Anderson into a cult figure.
It will follow MacGyver as he "gets recruited into a clandestine organization where he uses his knack for solving problems in unconventional ways to help prevent disasters from happening," Variety reported.
Till plays Havok in the next X-Men film, X-Men: Apocalypse.
