The Wonder Years is getting the reboot therapy. ABC introduced on Wednesday that the community has dedicated to producing a pilot for a brand new reimagining of the long-lasting coming-of-age sitcom, which ran from 1998 to 1993. Empire co-creator Lee Daniels will govt produce the reboot alongside Saladin K. Patterson and authentic sequence star Fred Savage.
Written by Patterson, the brand new Surprise Years can be set in the identical period as the unique sequence — the late 1960s — and can now middle on a Black middle-class household dwelling in Montgomery, Alabama. The logline says the sequence will discover how the household “made positive it was The Surprise Years for them too.”
The unique Surprise Years was informed by means of the eyes of Kevin Arnold (performed by Savage as a baby and Daniel Stern as an grownup) as he grew up in a suburban city throughout a turbulent period. Whereas we do not know a lot in regards to the new sequence simply but, it is a secure guess that it is not going to carry again in addressing political and social points.
Along with Daniels, Savage, and Patterson, Marc Velez, president of Lee Daniels Leisure, has signed on as an govt producer, and Neal Marlens, co-creator of the unique sequence, is about to behave as a guide.
Information of this Surprise Years reboot must be thrilling for all of the Daniels followers on the market because it comes lower than a 12 months after Empire wrapped up its six-season run on Fox. Patterson most not too long ago govt produced and wrote for the FXX comedy Dave, which was renewed for a second season.
