Recently, my 11-year-old discovered “The X-Files” on a streaming service and genuinely thought I was joking when I said it was being revived. But guess what? It’s true! Six new episodes are on the way, with David Duchovny, Gillian Anderson, and creator Chris Carter all returning, plus Mitch Pileggi is back as Walter Skinner, Mulder and Scully’s boss. There’s no news yet on whether the Cigarette Smoking Man or the Lone Gunmen will make an appearance, but when it comes to “The X-Files,” a little intrigue is always welcome.
And speaking of nostalgia, can you believe “Full House” fans are having a moment? Netflix has confirmed that the show is coming back, under the title “Fuller House.” The original Uncle Jesse, played by John Stamos, is set to produce and make guest appearances. The new storyline revolves around DJ Tanner (Candace Cameron Bure), who, as a widowed mom-to-be, asks her sister Stephanie (Jodie Sweetin) to help raise her two sons and an incoming baby. And yes, we might even get some familiar faces back, including Bob Saget and the Olsen twins—though they might only need one twin, given their shared role!
Another classic sitcom making a return is “Coach.” While the rest of the cast remains a mystery, Craig T. Nelson is confirmed to reprise his role as Hayden Fox, who, after years away from coaching, is back to assist his son, now the head coach at an Ivy League school.
Remember “The Muppet Show?” It was a variety show sensation in the late ’70s. With iconic characters like Kermit, Miss Piggy, and Fozzie Bear, along with a star-studded list of guest appearances, it was a must-watch. ABC is working with Bill Prady, co-creator of “The Big Bang Theory,” to bring a new series to life. The premise? The Muppets are trying to revive the show, but Miss Piggy is still dealing with her complicated history with Kermit. Classic Muppet humor is set to return!
In the realm of superhero shows, “Heroes” is back—now titled “Heroes Reborn.” Creator Tim Kring promises fresh stories and characters, leaving the fate of original stars up in the air.
And how about “Twin Peaks?” After some drama with David Lynch stepping back, fans are concerned about the show’s future. While scripts are ready and Kyle MacLachlan is confirmed to return, the show’s direction hangs in the balance. Fans are pleading on social media for negotiations to continue.
Finally, I’m a massive fan of “Parenthood,” and creator Jason Katims recently expressed interest in a “limited series revival.” I’d jump at the chance to spend more time with the Braverman clan. They’ve got my heart, and I’m not afraid to admit it! And speaking of shows that deserve a revival, how about “Freaks & Geeks?” That gem only lasted one season, but its talented cast and creator Judd Apatow are still around. I’d love to see what all those characters are up to now.
