Reboot, from the Emmy-winning co-creator of Modern Family Steve Levitan will premiere in Fall 2022.

In the comedy, Hulu reboots an early 2000's family sitcom, forcing its dysfunctional cast back together. Now they must deal with their unresolved issues in today's fast-changing world. In the series premiere, when a young writer sells the pitch for the reboot of an early 2000's sitcom, the show's actors must come back together and face their unresolved issues. More details including an exact premiere date are to come.
