One of the most popular comedy series of the 80s has been officially revamped. Freevee (formerly IMDB TV), Amazon’s free access platform, has ordered the production of the first season of the revival of “Who’s the Boss?”, Which will return to bring Tony Danza and Alyssa Milano in their original roles.
They will return to play Tony and Samantha Micelli, father and daughter who will live in the house of a wealthy employer where Tony finds work as a servant. Considered quite progressive for 1984, the comedy faced a reversal of roles and gender stereotypes, reflecting changes in behavior at the time, when more women were successful in executive careers.
Very well received by the public, the attraction lasted 8 seasons on the ABC network, between 1984 and 1992, reaching an impressive average of 33 million live viewers.
Over the course of the series, audiences also saw Milan grow, which was 11 years old in the first episode and 19 at the end of the series.
The premise of the sequel will put the actress at the center of the new chapters. Thirty years after the end of the original series, Samantha (Milan) is now a single mother, who lives in the same house in which she grew up. This time around, instead of exploring gender and class differences, the series will focus on generational differences and opposing worldviews and will present the dynamics of a modern family in the 1920s.
Other original cast members like Judith Light, former boss Angela, and Danny Pintauro, her son Jonathan, are also expected to appear as their characters on the show. All the actors in the series have become great friends and remain in contact to this day.
Sony Television’s revival order reflects the current success of classic sitcoms, which have garnered large streaming audiences and inspired the trend of saving old productions, adapted for new generations in repackaged versions, such as “One Day at a Time. “and” Fuller House “.
The sequel to “Who’s the boss?” he will executive produce veteran Norman Lear, the attraction’s original producer – and creator of “One Day at a Time,” among other past audience leaders.
