There's a WHO'S THE BOSS Sequel Series in Development with Tony Danza and Alyssa Milano
The classic ‘80s sitcom series Who’s The Boss is getting a sequel series that is being produced by Sony Pictures Television. When I was a kid, I loved watching this show! It ran for eight seasons with 196 episodes on ABC from 1984 to 1992.
Fans will be happy to learn that the original stars of the series, Tony Danza and Alyssa Milano, are on board to reprise their iconic roles as Tony and Samantha Micelli! It’ll be interesting to see how this father and daughter dynamic will play out in the new series.
The new show will take place 30 years after the events of the original series, “centered around former major-league baseball player/retired housekeeper Tony Micelli and his relationship with his daughter Samantha Micelli. She is now a single mother, living in the house the original series was set in. In line with Norman Lear’s classic shows, the new comedy will explore generational differences, as well as opposing world views and parenting styles within the dynamic of a modern family in 2020.”
Original cast members Judith Light (Angela) and Danny Pintauro (Jonathan) support the new series and the hope is to find “creative ways to work them and their characters into the show.” Apparently, the cast of the series has remained very close over the years.
Lear is an executive producer on the project, and he helped in developing an updated take on the show with producer Brent Miller and Dan Farah. Danza and Milano will also serve as Executive Producers.
