A reboot was confirmed to be in the works on June 6, 2024. It was being written by Eastin, with the involvements of Bomer, DeKay, and Thiessen. It was said to be a ''a fantastic script and it answers all the questions that one would have if you watch the show'', and that it would honor the late cast member Willie Garson (who died in 2021 ofpancreatic cancer).[1][49]
