Here’s The Story Of A Lovely… ‘Brady Bunch’ Reboot!
These days movies and television are all about rebooting everything. If you needed further proof of this just turn on your TV and look at shows like Hawaii Five-0 and 90210 or movies like the upcoming Total Recall. Hollywood truly is all about remakes.
Get ready for the latest reboot! TV’s favourite family The Brady Bunch is the latest show to get the reboot treatment. Deadline is reporting that CBS is developing the reboot and it’s being co-developed and executive produced by Vince Vaughn. The original Brady Bunch was created by Sherwood Schwartz and it ran on ABC from 1969-1974.
In the new Brady Bunch, written by Mike Mariano (Raising Hope, My Name Is Earl), a divorced Bobby Brady, with children of his own, is remarried to a woman who also has kids, and together they also share a child. In addition, their ex-spouses are still part of their lives. The changes in the premiere reflect the evolution of family dynamics over the past four decades. Back in 1969, Schwartz wanted Carol to be a divorcée but the network refused, so the end of her first marriage was never addressed.
Lloyd Schwartz, the son of Sherwood Schwartz, will executive produce the reboot along with Vaughn, Victoria Vaughn and Peter Billingsley through Vince Vaughn’s Wild West Picture Show Prods.
