The latest 80s sitcom to get a reboot is on its way.
Today HBO Max that a gender-flipped reboot of Perfect Strangers is in the works, starring Robin Thede and London Hughes. The original series, which ran on ABC from 1986 until 1993, starred Bronson Pinchot and Mark Linn-Baker. The new incarnation will follow Deejay (Thede) and Poppy (Hughes), who “unexpectedly discover they are half-sisters when they both inherit a one-bedroom apartment above a trap yoga studio in Fort Greene, Brooklyn.”
The script for the pilot will be written by Thede, who is also executive producing alongside the show’s original producer Robert L. Boyett. This will also be part of Thede’s – who also created A Black Lady Sketch Show – overall deal with Warner Media.
