The sitcom originally ran on ABC from 1970 to 1975. Four decades later, the show has undergone its own modern-day remake, starring Matthew Perry and his former 17 Again costar Thomas Lennon. Perry developed the series and stars as Oscar Madison, the slovenly and easygoing sportswriter and sports radio personality. He also serves as executive producer. Meanwhile, Lenon plays his uptight, neat-freak roommate, Felix. The 13-episode freshman season of the new version of the show premiered on CBS in mid-February as a midseason entry and concluded in mid-May. It has since been renewed for a second season.

Per TV Line, fellow Full House vets John Stamos, Bob Saget, and Dave Coulier are being eyed to make guest appearances, with Stamos also expected to serve as a producer. The original show’s creator, Jeff Franklin, would reportedly oversee the project, as well as executive produce alongside Thomas L. Miller and Robert L.

Other confirmed returning cast members include Sheryl Lee, Richard Beymer, Dana Ashbrook, and Catherine E. Coulson. David. Creators David Lynch and Mark Frost wrote the episodes, with the former also originally set to direct the entire series. Lynch briefly departed the project over budgetary issues, but has since returned and is expect to start shooting in September.

ABC is developing a reboot of The Muppet Show 19 years after the series wrapped. The original aired from 1976 to 1981 before being revived in 1996 with Muppets Tonight. Now, the network has once again ordered a pilot presentation featuring the characters. Though details of the plot are being kept under wraps, Bill Prady, co-creator of The Big Bang Theory, has reportedly signed on to co-write and executive produce alongside Bob Kushell (Anger Management), who will also serve as showrunner. Prady has experience writing for the Muppets, having previously worked on The Jim Henson Hour, Muppet Classic Theater, and a number of Muppet specials.

7. The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air

A reboot of the beloved sitcom is currently “in the very early stages of development, according to TVLine. The original titular star Will Smith is reportedly on board for the project and will serve as a producer via his Overbrook Entertainment banner. There’s no official synopsis yet, but the show will reportedly be “a present-day Fresh Prince reboot that puts a new spin on the fish-out-of-water tale while maintaining the spirit of the original series.” It’s not yet clear whether this new version “will be a straight reboot along the lines of Hawaii Five-0 or a continuation like Netflix’s upcoming Fuller House.’

The project does not yet have a network attached, but is expected to be shopped around soon.

8. Xena

After much speculation, NBC recently confirmed that it is moving forward with a reboot of the cult fave fantasy action series, Xena: Warrior Princess. “Yes, we’re in the early stages of developing a new take on Xena and we’re looking for a writer. We want to do it,” NBC Entertainment chairman Bob Greenblatt told The Hollywood Reporter.  Per THR, the new Xena would combine the “charisma and charm of [Lucy] Lawless and the smarts of The Hunger Games Katniss,” but the exact direction of the character and series would be up to the writer.

As for how original star Lawless will fit into the project, Greenblat says, “We’d love to have Lucy be a part of it — if we felt that her presence didn’t overshadow the direction we take with it. ” The new series is reportedly targeted for 2016.
