TV Reboots and Revivals: A Complete Guide

TV reboots and revivals are a major aspect of the TV landscape, and they will not disappear any time soon.

Continuations of classic shows have been big hits in recent years, with ABC’s Roseanne and NBC’s Will & Grace being prime examples in the sitcom genre. But those revivals are definitely not limited to comedies, as CBS’ Hawaii Five-0 and MacGyver reboots have proven to be successful.

However, more recent properties have also seen the revival treatment, including Jersey Shore and Last Man Standing.

Those titles are big hits, with networks using them as guides to develop more and more reboots. Most of these are still in the works, but many have been greenlit or scrapped entirely.

Scroll through to see all the revivals currently on the air, on the way, in development, open to development or on hold.
