Fans of classic tv will love this news! One of the most beloved television comedies is making a comeback. A Who’s The Boss sequel is in development at Sony Pictures Television. As first reported by Deadline, both Tony Danza and Alyssa Milano are on board to reprise their iconic roles as Tony and Samantha Micelli, a father/daughter relationship that was a staple of TV for eight seasons which ran for a total of 196 episodes.
The sequel series will take place 30 years after the events of the original series,
“centered around former major-league baseball player/retired housekeeper Tony Micelli and his relationship with his daughter Samantha Micelli. She is now a single mother, living in the house the original series was set in. In line with Norman Lear’s classic shows, the new comedy will explore generational differences, as well as opposing world views and parenting styles within the dynamic of a modern family in 2020.”
Original cast members Judith Light (Angela) and Danny Pintauro (Jonathan) are supportive of the new series and the hope is to find creative ways to work them and their characters into the show.
The deal comes at the perfect time as classic series like Friends, The Office, and Seinfeld are still huge draws for streaming service platforms.
