Overview

• After developing a new script and re-pitching the show, Bialik and creator Don Reo were initially encouraged before executive turnover altered the project’s trajectory.
• According to Bialik’s Substack, new decision-makers at Disney declined to move forward with the reboot.
• Bialik says she and Reo asked to purchase the rights to shop the project to other studios, but Disney refused and is reserving the property.
• Coverage differs on whether Disney has officially confirmed the cancellation, with at least one outlet reporting no comment from the company.
• Bialik writes that the experience has dampened her interest in on-camera work, noting the broader industry churn that also stalled earlier 2023 revival talk after the strikes.
