Overview

• James told Entertainment Weekly he is “pretty far along,” including securing a production company to finance the project.
• He says he brought “everybody on board,” including Jaleel White, to return as voice actors for their characters.
• The proposal would modernize storylines from the original run and use animation to facilitate remote recording without on-camera reunions.
• A source familiar with Warner Bros. Animation says the company is aware of the pitch but it has not advanced, and Warner Bros. Television did not provide comment.
• White previously declined a different reboot idea, writing that he wanted any return to move the show’s legacy forward rather than repeat past dynamics.
