8 TV Show Reboots You Didn't Know Were In The Works

2. Party Of Five

Party Of Five TV Series
Sony Pictures Television

The Original: Matthew Fox is best known for his work on Lost, but few people know that the supernatural drama wasn't his first foray onto the small screen. That came with 1994's Party Of Five, a teen drama series which follows five siblings after they lose their parents in a car accident.

The show suffered low ratings for its first two seasons (despite positive reviews), but a Golden Globe win saw its popularity soar, and it remained on the air until the year 2000.

The Reboot: Disney-owned network Freeform ordered Party Of Five to pilot in January of this year, and since then, news has been thin on the ground.

The new series is being developed by Chris Keyser and Amy Lippman, the same people behind the original, and will feature a new immigration angle by centring on the Buendias siblings, who have to fend for themselves after their parents are suddenly deported to Mexico.

As a result, none of the original cast is expected to return.

In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
