The next big reboot is officially underway. 

UCP is producing a revival/reboot of Punky Brewster, with Soleil Moon Frye reprising her role from the 1980s sitcom about a little girl raised by a foster parent. 

The new series, which is written by Steve and Jim Armogida (School of Rock) and executive produced by Frye and original series creator David Duclon, will star Frye as Punky, now a single mother of three, who meets a young girl who reminds her of her younger self. 

The original show aired on NBC from 1984 to 1986, then in syndication until 1988. 

The character also appeared in a spin-off animated show called It’s Punky Brewster, which aired on Saturday mornings from 1985 to 1986. 

Frye went on to star in Sabrina the Teenage Witch and appeared in Friends and Saved By the Bell.  

No network is currently attached, but UCP is the production company behind Homecoming, The Umbrella Academy, The Act, Mr. Robot, Dirty John, The Purge, The Sinner, The Magicians, and more.

On Tuesday, it was also announced that MTV’s Singled Out and Punk’d will be returning on the online platform Quibi, joining the long list of shows returning from the dead. You can keep up with them all below!
