Recently, my 12-year-old son stumbled upon The X-Files on a streaming service and nearly laughed when I mentioned its revival. But it’s true: six fresh episodes are on the way! David Duchovny, Gillian Anderson, and the series creator Chris Carter are all set to return, with Mitch Pileggi joining the cast as Walter Skinner, the boss of Mulder and Scully. The status of fan-favorites like the Cigarette Smoking Man and the Lone Gunmen remains shrouded in mystery, true to the show’s nature.
Speaking of unexpected comebacks, Full House fans are rejoicing as Netflix officially announced the revival slated for next year, titled Fuller House. John Stamos, known for his role as Uncle Jesse, will be producing and making occasional guest appearances. Fans can look forward to a new chapter in the Tanner family saga, featuring a widowed, expecting DJ (Candace Cameron Bure) who turns to her sister Stephanie (Jodie Sweetin) for support in raising her two sons and a new baby. It’ll be interesting to see if they reference Sweetin’s past on Pants-Off Dance-Off. Kimmy (Andrea Barber) will also join the fray, and producers are optimistic about securing appearances from Bob Saget (Danny), Dave Coulier (Joey), and possibly one of the Olsen twins.
Another iconic sitcom from the late ‘80s and early ‘90s, Coach, is gearing up for a return as well. While details about the original cast members such as Shelley Fabares and Jerry Van Dyke are still under wraps, star Craig T. Nelson is confirmed to reprise his role, alongside original creator Barry Kemp. The narrative will jump forward 18 years, focusing on Hayden Fox’s retirement from coaching and his return to assist his son, who has now taken on the head coaching position at a prestigious Ivy League university in Pennsylvania.
Remember The Muppet Show? It was a phenomenon in the late ‘70s, featuring Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear, and a slew of celebrity guests like Julie Andrews and Elton John. With the help of The Big Bang Theory co-creator Bill Prady, ABC is working on a new series where Kermit and the gang attempt to revive the show, all while Miss Piggy navigates her complicated history with Kermit.
In the world of superhero dramas, Heroes Reborn brings back creator Tim Kring, allowing for new narratives and characters, leaving the potential for familiar faces wide open.
Meanwhile, the fate of Twin Peaks hangs in the balance following David Lynch’s recent exit from the project. Though he and co-creator Mark Frost have submitted the scripts to Showtime, Lynch’s departure due to budget disputes has left fans on edge. Social media is buzzing with pleas for Showtime to continue negotiations, as cast members express their hopes for the series to move forward without Lynch’s visionary direction.
Lastly, as a passionate fan of Parenthood, I recently came across an interview with creator Jason Katims expressing interest in a “limited series revival.” I would do anything for a few more hours with the Braverman family; their stories resonate deeply with me. While I enjoy reading about Dax Shepard and Kristen Bell’s real-life therapy sessions, in my mind, he’s still married to Joy Bryant.
And while we’re dreaming of revivals, wouldn’t it be fantastic to see Freaks & Geeks return? This gem only lasted one season, but its cast is still active, as is creator Judd Apatow. It would be wonderful to catch up with those characters.
