That's actually why reboots are failing us. Because there's no time machine, and reboots remind us that something is over while simultaneously ruining all the goodness of the original.

Now prequels, that's a different game open for discussion... #reboots #prequels

Wow! That took three #reboots to get back in. Man. I've known #privacy was dead since '80s but it's deader than ever! I know I'm hacking through a storm everywhere. I've got it bolted down as good as I can. Let's get back in it!

Malcolm in the Middle revival confirmed with Bryan Cranston returning We may still be stuck in reboot culture hell, but at least it's coming around for a genuinely good show again. You may remember Bryan Cranston teasing a movie based on _Malcolm in the Middle_. This brilliant family sitcom ran from 2000 to 2006 and was almost immediately overshadowed by his subsequent work on a little show called _Breaking Bad_. — Read the rest The post Malcolm in the Middle revival confirmed with Bryan Cranston returning appeared first on Boing Boing.

“Stranger Things” is already getting a spin-off. Here’s everything we know about “Tales From ’85” so far The fifth and final season of _Stranger Things_ came to an end on New Year's Eve, but it's not the last fans will see of Hawkins. A new animated spinoff titled _Stranger Things: Tales From ’85_ is heading to Netflix in 2026. The new series is being led by showrunner Eric Robles along with _Stranger Things _creators Matt and Ross Duffer. “With animation, there’s really no limits,” Ross Duffer previously explained. “Eric and his team can just go wild … and they have.” Netflix/YouTube "When we started talking about was there anything else we wanted to do with _Stranger Things_ , this was one of our first ideas,” Ross Duffer explains in the video, adding that they wanted the show to feel like an '80s cartoon. ## What is _Stranger Things: Tales From ’85_ about? The new series takes place between Season 2 and Season 3 of _Stranger Things_ , so after the kids first faced the Mind Flayer and before they became Russian-fighting mall rats. At the end of the second season, Eleven and Mike were reunited, and Max joined the party, which means fans will get a fresh glimpse into the friend group's dynamic. Netflix/YouTube The biggest change from the live-action series is the animated show's cast. None of the _Stranger Things_ stars will be voicing the characters they originated. The new line-up includes Brooklyn Davey Norstedt as Eleven, Jolie Hoang-Rappaport as Max, Luca Diaz as Mike, Elisha “EJ” Williams as Lucas, Braxton Quinney as Dustin, Benjamin Plessala as Will, and Brett Gipson as Hopper. Odessa A’zion, Janeane Garofalo, and Lou Diamond Phillips are also part of the voice cast. _Stranger Things: Tales From ‘85_ does not yet have a release date, but is expected to debut this year. ## Are fans excited about _Stranger Things: Tales From ‘85_? The upcoming release of _Stranger Things: Tales From ‘85_ has fans torn. Some think Netflix should let the franchise rest for a while, especially after such an incredible and emotional finale. However, some fans are excited to see a new side of Hawkins.

Another original “Anaconda” star makes surprise cameo in new movie The 1997 original starred Jennifer Lopez, Ice Cube, Jon Voight, Eric Stoltz, and Owen Wilson.

We live in a world of #reboots of movies & TV shows, & with that comes a lack of #creativity, #diversity, or perhaps too much of an effort to course correct. Scott and I discuss this further in Part 2 of our interview, now available on my YouTube channel.

Are We Living in a World of Perpetual Nostalgia? Last week, the _teaser trailer_ for __Camp Rock 3__ saw the Jonas Brothers –– or as they’re known in the Disney ‘verse, Connect 3 –– step back onto the sand at the aforementioned summer camp, fifteen years since their last summer there. The three are starring in the series, Demi Lovato is executive producing alongside them, and a flock of new campers are set to grace the grounds this summer. It’s a recipe for reminiscence, and the version of myself that contentedly watched the second movie on a car ride is beside herself. ### In recent years, the entertainment world has recognized that there’s truly nothing like a throwback. In October, the internet was abuzz with the dubious fate of Alex Russo after she sacrificed herself to save her family in the season finale of the __Wizards Beyond Waverly Place,__ the remake of the seminal Selena Gomez classic. Miley Cyrus recently _shared_ with __Good Morning America__ that she might be planning something special for the 20th anniversary of __Hannah Montana, and__ Netflix’s __Cobra Kai__ drew new fans back to the original __Karate Kid__ movies in a storm of ’80s euphoria with every season premiere. We just caught our _first glimpse_ of Hero Fiennes Tiffin of __After__ fame as a young Sherlock Holmes in an upcoming revitalization of the literary classic. ### ### This __Camp Rock__ reinvention feels especially appropriate; there’s something inherently summer camp-like about the nature of these revivals in the first place. Our love for them is based in nostalgia, often seasonal (__Gilmore Girls__ Fall, anyone?), and fueled by the permanent possibility of our return. When beloved characters are brought back to life, often a decade or two down the line from their initial end, they can be effectively immortalized in pop culture iconography. We develop a special relationship with the media we grow up consuming – after all, being entrusted with the cosmic secret of Miley Cyrus’ alter ego before we were deemed responsible enough for the family Netflix password was a massive deal. When these retrospective milestones roll around and announcements for reboots and revivals are made, there's never really ever any doubt that OGs will tune in. These reboots are often a one-time hit – the polarizing universes of __And Just Like That__ and 2021’s __Gossip Girl,__ both of which met early ends in spite of our generally ubiquitous interest in the life of Carrie Bradshaw and the snarky cultural underbelly of wealthy Upper East Siders, are evidence that beloved source material isn’t always enough to sway us into loving its return. Loyalty is often the cementing factor keeping us glued to shows as they stream, or to a single viewing of a reboot movie at the time of its release. But when we crave a fix of __Gilmore Girls,__ we don’t tune into Rory and Logan’s extramarital affair à la __A Year In The Life.__ We go back to the source material and reminisce on the days when we were all still Team Dean. ### ### Critics online have expressed that Generation Z lacks their own _Sex and the City,_ their own _Friends_ or _Girls._ While discourse around the cultural permanence of new shows as they come out is bound to continue, the fact of the matter is streaming makes it easy for these throwbacks to have a continuous grip on the cultural zeitgeist. _Gilmore Girls_ ended in 2007, and it continues to make the Top 10 streaming lists across platforms each year. We relish throwbacks, living in an era of times gone by. It’s not as if these revivals are necessarily trumping our media consumption habits, either. Netflix’s current top 10 is overrun by the presence of every “Stranger Things” season, and HBO Max’s most popular list is studded with new shows that have provoked online chat like “Heated Rivalry” and “I Love LA.” These original hits seem to satiate a desire for original content that we undoubtedly crave, even if the rush of the internet makes it difficult to pin a particular film or show that defines a generation. It’s also not unusual to see moaning and groaning online at the announcement of a newly revitalized Disney classic coming to the screen. In the wake of a subpar release weekend for animated original _Elio,_ Pixar took to _TikTok_ over the summer to suggest that critics “Stop complaining that Disney doesn’t make original stories if you don’t show up to movie theaters to support them in the first place.” ### ### A general love of remakes undeniably coexists with a fatigue for them. Beyond the initial hype and reminiscence that reboot announcements can receive, it almost feels like there’s a tension between creator and consumer. We want more original content, but aren’t turning out for it as needed to make it worth the gamble, at least when it comes to the rapidly changing environment of film. Nostalgic media might be a safer bet to ideate, and is undeniably easy to consume. But in an entertainment environment where some of the most viral hits are from the past or newly rehash it, where we’re already engaging with nostalgia to an extreme, what content can we plan on looking back on? _Eleanor Jacobs is PAPER's 2025 Fall Intern_ _Photos via_ _Getty_

“Depression might be cured”: Fans are excited for the return of “Scrubs,” but many worry about state of the TV industry—and the lack of new ideas _Scrubs_ is the latest TV show to be revived, and it's causing TV fans to share their thoughts on the state of the industry. We are living in the age of reboots and revivals. Over the last decade, shows like _Full House_ , _Roseanne_ , _Will & Grace_, _Saved by the Bell_ , _Mad About You_ , _Frasier_ , and more have returned with their original casts. While the revival route often falls flat, some shows have found success with their returns. For example, the revival season of _Twin Peaks_ is a fan-favorite for many. However, whether or not a revival works, it is safe to say people are sick of recycled ideas. When the first teaser for the _Scrubs_ revival was dropped this week, many people took to social media to express their distaste over yet another reboot. _Scrubs_ debuted 24 years ago in 2001. https://twitter.com/RetroNewsNow/status/1973908861271613477 ## So, who is returning for _Scrubs_? Zach Braff, Donald Faison, and Sarah Chalke are all returning to star as J.D., Turk, and Elliot. John C. McGinley and Judy Reyes are also back in recurring roles as Dr. Cox and Carla. Former _Scrubs_ actors Robert Maschio (Todd) and Phill Lewis (Hooch) are also set to appear in the revival. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9scGpABYBMA New cast members include Vanessa Bayer as Sibby, who runs a wellness program for Sacred Heart's faculty and staff; Joel Kim Booster as attending physician Dr. Eric Park; and the new intern class, which consists of Upright Citizens Brigade alum Ava Bunn as Serena, Jacob Dudman as Asher, David Gridley as Blake, Layla Mohammadi as Amara, and Amanda Morrow as Dashana. ## Fans react to the _Scrubs_ revival tease While some people are excited for the new _Scrubs_ , most people are joking about the show's return for many different reasons. From being sick of revivals to claiming we don't need more _Scrubs_ , the reactions are coming in hot. Longtime fans, however, are excited that the show's cast hasn't missed a beat. After the clip hit social feeds, diehard fans of the show were quick to celebrate: @MrBrokenEyes/X @MsTeezy_Carter/X @MrsGothicc/X Some people couldn't help but poke fun at the cast: @dogsucdebridg/X u/navygreen33 via Reddit @GentleDoofus/X However, some people think the cast looks good: u/DashingMustashing via Reddit @_matthewlawson/X u/Wesker405 via Reddit While others are joking about the economic implications: @AlsikkanTV/X @Mwadzlife/X Some are discussing how Hollywood is out of ideas and/or bringing back this classic song: https://twitter.com/GundamIsHere/status/1993530642295144525 @PresleySnipess/X @AshDiggs_/X Other TV viewers are hopeful... @DrParsaSalehi/X @ConnorInTheNews/X ...or at least willing to give it a try: u/Reset108 via Reddit @RyanBenharris/X _Scrubs_ ' new season premieres on February 25th, 2026, with back-to-back episodes. * * * **_The internet is chaotic—but we’ll break it down for you in one daily email.
