Blossom fans, rejoice! Mayim Bialik confirmed that rumors surrounding the return of the ’90s sitcom are not just talk.
In an interview with Vanity Fair, Bialik revealed that “all of the cast and the original creator and producers are on board” and that they “believe a reboot can and should exist” following the resolution of the SAG-AFTRA strike.
However, the cast and crew are not interested in bringing the show back in its original sitcom format.
“We want to bring back these interesting, deep characters—a child of divorce, a recovering drug addict, an alcoholic—to see them in a whole new way,” Bialik explained.
The NBC show starred Bialik as teenager Blossom Russo, who lives with her divorced father Nick (Ted Wass) and two older brothers: Anthony (Michael Stoyanov), a recovering alcoholic and substance abuser, and Joey (Joey Lawrence), a stereotypical high school jock.

Back in April, Bialik told Variety that series creator Don Reo had already finished a script for the reboot’s pilot, and delved into the unique dynamic of the show’s premise in the context of its era.
“You know, we were an unusual show about a girl at that time,” she said. “There were no network shows about girls. Everyone was like, ‘No one will watch that.’ And here we are.”
According to Entertainment Weekly, Bialik has expressed a ton of enthusiasm with respect to this reboot, and previously told the outlet in 2021 that she spent “years of trying” to get the project greenlit.
“I may just start a grassroots fan campaign to see if we can do it because we absolutely would love people to see where these characters are,” she shared in 2021.
Well, those years of trying may have just paid off!
Blossom is streaming on Hulu and Prime Video.
