Did Fran Drescher Nonchalantly Tease A Reboot Of ‘The Nanny?’
Fran Drescher might have shared that a reboot for The Nanny is indeed in the works. “We’re talking about it. Peter and I are talking about it,” she told Entertainment Tonight, referring to ex-husband and collaborator Peter Marc Jacobson, who co-created the sitcom with her.
She added, “We’re working on a very big project. It’s going to be very exciting for the fans, but I’m not at liberty to announce it yet. But it’s gonna be big.”
Fran also said that her character would likely be a lot different than the Flushing, Queens nanny we all grew to love. “She would’ve maybe gotten involved in more things [that] Fran Drencher is involved with,” she said. “All kinds of things from environmental issues, to health, to civil liberties, that’s what I think Fran would be doing now — opening her big Queens mouth for the greater good.”
She continued, “The thing is our show would be the same characters 20 years later. We can’t just pick up where we left off. But in a way, that could be really good because the show can have a whole fresh bend to it.”
