The Wonder Years is officially getting a reboot. This show has been off the air for about 30 years. In the age of reboots, it is no wonder such a classic show is coming back again. This time, the comedy will feature a Black family.
Fred Savage, who starred in the original series, will return as an executive producer and director on the new show. The original series co-creator Neal Marlens will also be involved in the reboot.
ABC is hoping to premiere the reboot during the 2021-2022 television season. Of course, the coronavirus pandemic will play a role as many shows are still not able to film. The original series focused on a middle-class family in the ’60s. The reboot will focus on a Black middle-class family in the ’60s, in Montgomery, Alabama.

The Wonder Years was on air for six seasons from 1988 to 1993. It starred Fred, Danica McKellar, Dan Lauria, Alley Mills, Olivia d’Abo, Jason Hervey, and Josh Saviano. Daniel Stern was the voice of grown-up Kevin (Fred).
