Original stars returning for Married… With Children animated revival

May 15th, 2022 by Marc Comments

Following the trend we’re all too familiar with in recent times, another iconic 90s tv series is getting an update as the hilarious and completely un-PC Married… With Children is coming back.

But don’t despair yet.

Word has it that Married… is getting an animated revival and looking to bring back original stars Katey Sagal, Ed O’Neill, Christina Applegate and David Faustino to reprise their roles.

Now, we know that un-PC content isn’t getting the love it did during the 80s and 90s – the series ran between 1987 and 1997 on Fox – but we have hope that this show will cut as close to the bon eas it did all those years ago as it is being penned by Family Guy executive producer Alex Carter, who serves as showrunner.

Sony has reportedly already signed the stars to return and has been developing it for over a year and are currently shopping it around streaming services, with Fox, Hulu and Peacock all being likely homes for it.

We’d certainly be interested to see what comes of this and envision an F is for Family-type show which harkens back to an age where everything was a bit easier-going.

Thoughts?

Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
