6 TV Show Reboots That Are Currently in the Works

We are in the age of reboots, revivals, reunions, and spin-offs, as virtually anything and everything is being remade. No matter how long it’s been since the TV show was on, several productions have been from coming back in various ways, shapes, or forms. Some are a continuation of the original, while others are complete reboots that may or may not have some sort of tie-in to the original.

With the 2023-24 TV season coming up soon, even despite the writers’ strike, there are going to be even more reboots coming soon. Between Matlock, Frasier, and more, fans will feel like they’re going back in time with these new shows, and that may not be a bad thing. Take a look at some of the reboots that are in the works and that are coming hopefully very soon.

‘The Flintstones’

It’s been a very long time coming, but it will soon be time to head back to Bedrock. The beloved characters from the Stone Age will be coming back in the form of Bedrock. In 2011, Seth MacFarlane started work on a revival series, but the project fell through. In 2021, Fox ordered sequel series  from Elizabeth Banks, which takes place 20 years after the original series. It would focus on struggling adult Pebbles, as Fred Flintstone is about to retire. 

Earlier this year, Fox finally announced the cast for after ordering a pilot for the animated series. Banks is set to voice Pebbles Flintstone, with Stephen Root and Amy Sedaris voicing Fred and Wilma Flintstone. Joe Lo Truglio and Nicole Byer will voice Barney and Betty Rubble, and Manny Jacinto will voice Bamm-Bamm Rubble.

‘Frasier’

First announced in 2021 and perhaps one of the most anticipated reboots, Frasier is coming back. The series, which initially ran from 1993 to 2004 on NBC, will include the return of some fan favorites, including Kelsey Grammar, who had been spearheading the show’s return. While there isn’t a premiere date as of yet, it is set to premiere on Paramount+.

The reboot will see the titular character becoming a college professor after having been a psychiatrist and radio host. It will also be set in Boston as opposed to Seattle, according to TVLine, where the original city took place. Not much else is known about the series, but considering the original is still loved to this day, the wait will surely be worth it, especially with Peri Gilpin also joining the fun.

‘Clone High’

MTV animated series Clone High premiered in 2002 and only lasted 13 episodes. It was a parody of teen soaps and followed a high school that was entirely populated by clones of historical figures. While the series was canceled, it rounded up a cult following. Creators and directors Christopher Miller and Phil Lord, who also voiced characters on the series, signed on for a revival in 2020.

In November 2022, Miller revealed on Twitter that the series would be coming to Max sometime in 2023, but a premiere date has yet to be revealed.

‘Matlock’

This fall, CBS will be debuting a brand-new Matlock series starring Kathy Bates as the titular Madeline Matlock, who comes out of retirement to join the staff of a high-end firm. While not directly tied to the beloved Andy Griffith series that went on for nine seasons, it is inspired by the classic. The Matlock even revealed that the OG series is an actual series, as Bates’ Matlock told a group of colleagues that her name is like that TV show. Due to the writers’ strike, there’s no telling when exactly it will premiere, but it will be part of CBS’ fall schedule.

‘Futurama’

It’s been 20 years since Futurama ended its initial run on Fox, and another 10 since its second run concluded on Comedy Central, running for a total of seven seasons. Now, the animated sci-fi series is coming back. It was first announced in 2022 that Futurama would get new life on Hulu with original cast members Katey Sagal, Billy West, Lauren Tom, Phil LaMarr, John DiMaggio, and others signing up to return. New episodes of will officially premiere on July 24 on Hulu, with the 20-episode season being split in two.

‘Ally McBeal’

Ally McBeal followed Calista Flockhart as the titular attorney prone to self-sabotage. The series ran on Fox from 1997 to 2002 and won seven Emmys during its five-season run. It was announced in 2002 that ABC was developing an to be produced by Karen Gist. The show will center on a recent law school graduate who is the daughter of district attorney Renée Raddick, who was portrayed by Lisa Nicole Carson in the original series. No other information has been released about it, but no news is good news.
