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.

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).
