"Life Goes On" ... is going on, again.
One of the stars of the beloved 1990s series, Kellie Martin, tweeted out a Deadline report on Thursday that the show was getting a reboot, with "All American" showrunner Nkechi Okoro Carroll in charge.
"Some really exciting news that @ichadlowe and I had to keep quiet until now," Martin wrote in the tweet, referring to former co-star Chad Lowe. "A #LifeGoesOn reboot is in the works that will be written by the brilliant @kech99."
"Life" aired from 1989 to 1993, and focused on the Chicago-based Thatchers and their children. Son Corky (Chris Burke) was the first major character in a TV series to be portrayed with Down syndrome.
Meanwhile, Martin played Rebecca "Becca" Thatcher, and according to Deadline, the sequel will revisit her life now that she's a doctor, along with her family, when she returns to her hometown. Lowe is also said to be returning; He played Becca's boyfriend.
Lowe also tweeted out his congratulations to Carroll, and noted, "@Kellie_Martin and I are beyond thrilled to have the opportunity to bring #LifeGoesOn back with Nkechi at the helm!"
Martin and Lowe are also set to executive produce on the series, which does not yet have a premiere date or channel. So stay tuned!
