Punky Brewster Gets WWE Stars; DuckTales to End with 90-Minute Series Finale

Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair - Punky Brewster

WWE Superstars Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair are set to guest star on an episode of Peacock's Punky Brewster, from UCP and Universal Television, divisions of Universal Studio Group.

In this continuation of the iconic 80s sitcom about a bright young girl raised by a foster dad, Punky is now a single mother of three trying to get her life back on track when she meets Izzy, a young girl in the foster system who reminds Punky a lot of her younger self. Soleil Moon Frye (Punky) and Cherie Johnson (Cherie) will reprise their original roles. The series also stars Freddie Prinze Jr. (Travis, Punky's ex-husband), Quinn Copeland (Izzy), Noah Cottrell (Diego), Oliver De Los Santos (Daniel), and Lauren Lindsey Donzis (Hannah).
