Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi’s widow Judy are getting the band back together. According to Variety, Belushi and former ‘SNL’ writer Anne Beats have written a ‘Blues Brothers’ TV pilot and are shopping it around to the networks.

In the script, iconic bluesmen Jake and Elwood Blues are just out of jail, and Elwood, who was raised in an orphanage, is on a mission to find his birth-parents. Aykroyd is attached to the pilot as the voice of the boys’ parole officer.

‘Blues Brothers’ made its debut in the late 1970s as an ‘SNL’ sketch starring Aykroyd and the late John Belushi. The 1980 big-screen adaptation was a smashing success and cemented the characters’ cult classic status.
