The Wonder Years is returning to ABC.
Nearly 30 years since it wrapped its six-season run, the network is teaming with Empire co-creator Lee Daniels for a reboot of the coming-of-age comedy — only this time, it will feature a Black family. The comedy has received a sizable pilot-production commitment and will open a mini-writers' room once the network approves the script. The goal, per sources, is for the new Wonder Years to be developed for the 2021-22 television season.
