The upcoming Wonder Years reboot has found its lead! ABC’s The Wonder Years has cast Elisha ‘EJ’ Williams as the lead character of the upcoming series reboot.
The new series will focus on
“a Black middle-class family in Montgomery, Alabama during the heightened times of the late 1960’s —the same era as the original series. Williams will play Dean, an inquisitive and hopeful 12-year-old who’s coming of age in a turbulent time and trying to figure out his place both within his family and in the larger world. Dean is a little insecure, a tad awkward, and a bit self-conscious, but he is determined to make his mark on the world around him.”
Williams joins Saycon Sengbloh (In the Dark), who will play Dean’s mother, Lillian, on the show.
