One Day at a Time is coming back. Deadline reports that Netflix is rebooting the classic sitcom with Rita Moreno.
Developed by Norman Lear, One Day at a Time ran from 1975 to 1984 and starred Bonnie Franklin as a divorced mother raising two teenage daughters played by Valerie Bertinelli and Mackenzie Phillips.
The new 13-episode series comes from How I Met Your Mother alum Gloria Calderon Kellett and Everybody Loves Raymond writer Mike Royce. Moreno is set to play the grandmother in the series, which will center on a Cuban-American family.
More from Deadline:
The multi-camera comedy revolves around a Cuban-American family, centering on a recently separated former military mom who is navigating a new single life while raising her radical teenaged daughter and socially adept tween son, with the “help” of her old school Cuban-born mom and a friends-without-benefits building manager named Schneider.”
What do you think? Did you watch One Day at a Time? Would you watch the reboot?
I’d be willing to give it a shot.
Rita Moreno is always fun to watch – based on the description of the new show, I’m not sure why a “reboot of One Day At a Time” is a valid…or even necessary hook to interest viewers. Nothing seems similar to the original except for maybe both the new and old families live in an apartment with a building manager?
