Wonderful First Promo Teaser for the New THE WONDER YEARS Series

ABC has released the first promo teaser for the new upcoming series The Wonder Years. The show is inspired by the classic 1988-93 ABC series, and it tells the story of a black middle-class family living in Montgomery, Alabama in the late 1960s.

The story is told “through the point of view of imaginative 12-year-old Dean. With the wisdom of his adult years, Dean’s hopeful and humorous recollections show how his family found their ‘wonder years’ in a turbulent time.” It looks like this new version of The Wonder Years captures that spark and spirit of the original series and I’m looking forward to watching it.

Don Cheadle narraties the series as adult Dean Williams, and the cast incudes Elisha “EJ” Williams as Dean Williams, Dulé Hill as Bill Williams, Saycon Sengbloh as Lillian Williams, Laura Kariuki as Kim Williams, Julian Lerner as Brad Hitman, Amari O’Neil as Cory Long, and Milan Ray as Keisa Clemmons.

The Wonder Years reboot comes from writer and executive producer Saladin Patterson with Lee Daniels and Marc Velez executive producing. Original series star Fred Savage will direct the pilot and executive produce. The original show’s creator, Neal Marlens, will serve as a consultant.
