In January 2020, PEOPLE confirmed that Drescher is adapting the popular show for a Broadway musical alongside co-creator and ex-husband Peter Marc Jacobson.
"We are SO excited to be working on the Broadway musical The Nanny," Drescher and Jacobson said in a statement. "We're equally excited that the wildly talented Rachel Bloom will be writing the lyrics and music with the fantastic Adam Schlesinger, and to have the brilliant Marc Bruni directing."
"Nobody is cast yet — we're plotting — but we feel confident we will find a fabulous actress who is funny, charming and has a great voice."
Drescher added, "Of course I would do it myself. But we'd have to change the title to The Granny."
