Get out the tissues! Freeform’s topical and emotional Party of Five reboot will debut Wednesday, Jan. 8, the network announced Friday ahead of a sneak preview screening at the Tribeca TV Festival.
While the original series centered around five orphaned siblings, the new iteration — from original creators Amy Lippman and Christopher Keyser — follows “the five Acosta children as they navigate daily life struggles to survive as a family unit after their parents are suddenly deported back to Mexico,” per the official synopsis. “This beloved story of a young family bound by adversity will be retold through the lens of current-day themes and cultural conversations.”
