All in the Family and Other Norman Lear Reboots Eyed at Sony
"There is some talk about doing some of the original shows, redoing them with today's stars," Lear, 94, tells Variety.
Netflix's One Day at a Time, for example, has reframed its central single mother as a Latina Army veteran.
Lear and Sony are now discussing revivals of his shows that would work off the original scripts, pulling out "classic" episodes and then using a new cast and more modern directing styles to pull new meaning from the source material.
