The 'Sister, Sister' Reboot Is Officially Happening

Get ready for a reboot, reboot. After months of teasing the potential for Sister, Sister returning the small screen, one of the show's original stars, Jackée Harry, has confirmed the series will indeed live to see another day.

"Yeah, it's happening!" she told Steve Harvey on an episode of his talk show this week. "I'm excited. Tia and Tamera, they're my babies, too. They won't leave me alone. I can't get rid of none of these women! None of them!"

The popular sitcom, which aired on ABC for six seasons between 1994 and 1999, told the story of a pair of identical twins—played by Tia and Tamera Mowry—who discover each other's existence in their teenage years through a Parent Trap-esque meeting. They soon move in together and co-mingle with their respective adoptive parents in suburban Detroit with many delightful shenanigans ensuing.

"I will say this, we are definitely closer than ever," Harry explained about the Mowry sisters, who are now in their late 30s. "That's basically all I can say. But I'm getting excited. As I know of now, definitely Jackée Harry and Tim Reid [the father] will definitely be part of the show." As to what type of narrative Sister, Sister would follow in 2018, Harry also has some ideas. "I think I would want it to pick up with where our lives are now. We're married with kids. But I definitely would want it to focus on the power of sisterhood. How wonderful and amazing that sisterhood and that relationship can be. How it helps you in whatever trials and tribulations you are in. When you have the sisterhood and that bond, that is so beautiful."

Last summer, Tia Mowry revealed the reboot was actively "moving forward," but there were still many fundamental tenants that needed to come together to make it work. "We're looking, right now, for a producer and a writer, someone who can kind of be a leader of the pack in regards to running the show," she said at the time. "I thought people would kind of be jumping on it, but it's a lot harder than my sister and I thought it would be. Everything in my career has always been a challenge."

Here's hoping a network comes to its senses soon. (Or maybe one already has.) Are you listening, Netflix?
