Overview

  • Mayim Bialik disclosed on her Substack that plans for a modern limited return of Blossom have been stopped at Disney.
  • Bialik and creator Don Reo developed a new script that she called “beautiful” after initially receiving encouraging signals from Disney.
  • Following executive turnover, the team was told the project would not be produced, and their request to take the rights to another outlet was denied.
  • Previous statements indicated the original cast and producers were prepared to participate in a return framed not as a sitcom but as a deeper character piece.
  • Disney has not commented on Bialik’s account, and she says the setback has reduced her interest in pursuing further on-camera roles.
