Multiple outlets report that the network is developing a sequel to the beloved ‘80s ensemble drama. 

The new series, titled thirtysomething(else), will be a continuation of the original from creators Marshall Herskovitz and Edward Zwick, which ended almost 30 years ago. Herskovitz and Zwick are on board the new pilot. 

According to Entertainment Weekly, thirtysomething(else) will follow the grown-up, thirtysomething children of the original cast that included Ken Olin (Michael Steadman), Mel Harris (Hope Murdoch), Timothy Busfield (Elliot Weston), and Patty Wettig (Nancy Weston).

“This will be a huge priority for us,” said Karey Burke, the head of ABC Entertainment. “It truly is multi-generational. They’ve really done a masterful job of honoring…they know those characters in their bones. And yet their children are thirtysomething themselves, not just their children on the show. So it’s really a true definition of multi-generational.”

The Goldbergs spinoff has added Tom Hertz and Vanessa McCarthy to its cast. Tim Doyle has been replaced after he left. Doyle joined in Season 2 after replacing Marc Firek, the co-creator of Schooled along with Adam F. Goldberg.

The sitcom is about a Taiwanese-American family who moves from Washington D.C’s Chinatown to Florida in the 1990s. Fresh Off the Boat was created by Nahnatchka Khan and it stars Randall Park, Constance Wu, Hudson Yang, Forrest Wheeler, Ian Chen, and Lucille Soong.

This news comes as no surprise as ratings have been low for the series and Constance Wu voiced her frustration with the show after they revealed they would be airing a sixth season.

President of ABC Entertainment Karey Burke said, “We couldn’t be prouder of this game-changing show and the impact it has had on our cultural landscape. The success of Fresh Off the Boat has helped pave the way for inclusion throughout the industry. Nahnatchka Khan and her brilliant creative team have created an unforgettable series with an Asian-American family front and center, something that hadn’t been done in two decades.”

The last episode will be an hour-long and it will air on February 21st.

In other news, ABC and 20th TV are currently developing a spinoff series about an Indian Family, which is currently titled Magic Motor Inn.

Roseanne revival aired on ABC in March this year, but its success was short-lived. The network decided to cancel the show after Barr’s racist remarks about Barack Obama’s former advisor Valerie Jarrett shook the world. Fans felt it’s unfair to fire the whole cast and crew because of wrongdoings of a single individual. It seems ABC took their complaints very seriously, and they’re giving them what they wanted. The 10-episode spin-off called The Conners is scheduled to premiere this fall. Supporting characters will finally get a chance to shine without Roseanne anywhere in sight.

“The Conners’ stories demonstrate that families can always find common ground through conversation, laughter, and love. The spin-off will continue to portray contemporary issues that are as relevant today as they were 30 years ago,” ABC officials said in a statement.

Barr stated she supports this decision because it means that “200 jobs of beloved cast and crew could be saved.” She also regrets circumstances that led to her removal from Roseanne but wishes the best to everyone involved.
