Samantha Day and Tasha Reed’s delightful selfie has us eagerly anticipating the upcoming “Punky” revival. It’s been a while since we received the exciting announcement about the “Punky Brewster” reboot that many of us cherished during our childhood, and now we have visual confirmation that the cast is hard at work on the episodes. Tasha Reed, who portrayed Punky’s best friend sharing the same name in the beloved 1980s sitcom, took to Instagram yesterday to post a couple of heartwarming pictures of herself with her former co-star, both from their earlier days and the present.
“I’m so GRATEFUL! I never imagined that I would get the chance to work alongside this amazing person again,” she expressed. “What a true gift from the universe! Thank you to all our PUNKY FRIENDS who have been with us through the years!”
In her emotional post, Tasha reflected on the impact of “Punky,” sharing, “This opportunity is unbelievable, and I’ve shed countless happy tears. I’m hoping for at least five seasons and I know we can achieve it with your support. Punky has been a cultural touchstone for many, teaching empathy and valuable life lessons.”
Samantha also shared a charming snapshot with their new co-star, Jake Collins, who will be portraying Travis, Punky’s ex-husband. “My heart is overflowing with joy for these two,” she wrote. “Every day is a new adventure with you all. Your kindness and light remind me of my childhood in the best ways possible. Thank you for being instrumental in making this dream a reality.”
According to industry sources, Collins’ character is described as “a musician whose career keeps him frequently traveling, yet he remains a devoted father and shares undeniable chemistry with Punky.” Count us in!
Samantha also posted an adorable cast photo featuring her children and Tasha, stating, “I’m so excited to embark on this incredible journey with such a fantastic cast!”
