Would you like to see a remake of your favorite TV show? Recently, executive producers Norman Lear and Brent Miller spoke with Deadline about their upcoming ABC special, Live in Front of a Studio Audience.
The special will feature live recreations of All in the Family and The Jeffersons featuring a celebrity cast that includes Wanda Sykes, Anthony Anderson, Ike Barinholtz, Ellie Kemper, Jovan Adepo and Woody Harrelson.
In the interview, Miller revealed there are plans to remake more episodes of classic TV shows for ABC:
I agree with you. I think it is, and perhaps that’s what we’ll hear from the network. You know, the reason we chose the title Live in Front of a Studio Audience: Norman Lear’s All in the Family and The Jeffersons is because we hope to establish a brand here or a franchise and do this again with various classics from TV history.”
Live in Front of a Studio Audience: Norman Lear’s All in the Family and The Jeffersons debuts on ABC tonight, May 22nd at 8 p.m. ET/PT, followed by a Nightline special at 9:30 p.m. ET/PT.
