The Jetsons are coming back!
ABC is planning a live-action sitcom based the characters in Hanna-Barbera’s classic cartoon The Jetsons.
Robert Zemeckis, James Rapke and Gary Janetti will be in charge of executive producing the upcoming the show. ABC has made a put-pilot commitment, which means that fans will at least get a pilot of the show.
The Jetsons will follow the lives of George, wife Jane, daughter Judy and son Elroy. Unlike the beloved cartoon, this version will look a “through a modern filter.”
ABC has a history with The Jetsons as it was the animated series’ first home when it premiered in prime time. The show would move to Saturday mornings for its second season, and new episodes were produced in the mid 1980’s while it was in syndication.
