PUNKY BREWSTER Gets the Full Season Greenlight at NBC Streamer Peacock
The reboot of the classic 1984 TV series Punky Brewster has gotten the official greenlight for a full season at the upcoming NBC streaming service, Peacock. The show had previously had a pilot order, but now fans can rest assured that we will be able to watch at least a full season of the show.
Soleil Moon Frye is returning to reprise her role of Punky alongside Cherie Johnson, who is also returning to the role of Punky’s best friend, Cherie. Newcomers to the cast include newcomers Quinn Copeland and Oliver De Los Santos, Lauren Donzis (Liv and Maddie, No Good Nick), Noah Cottrell (Skyscraper), and Freddie Prinze Jr. (She’s All That, Star Wars Rebels) who will play Punky's ex-husband.
Here’s the synopsis for the series:
On the multicamera/hybrid continuation of the 80s sitcom about a bright young girl raised by a foster dad, Punky (Frye) is now a single mother of three trying to get her life back on track when she meets a young girl who reminds her a lot of her younger self.
This is great news. I was a huge fan of the series when I was a kid, and I’m excited to see it again. Plus I will have already subscribed to Peacock because wild horses could not keep me from the Saved By The Bell reboot. Peacock is set to launch this April, and we will see the series sometime after that.
Are you excited for this reboot?
