It looks like one more beloved television series from the 1990’s is well on its way to getting a present day revival. Fans of NBC’s hit 1990’s series Mad About You have cause to celebrate as stars Helen Hunt and Paul Reiser have both recently closed deals to reprise their roles as Jamie and Paul Buchman after talks of a reboot have been circulation for some time.
Reiser co-created the sitcom alongside Danny Jacobson about a documentary filmmaker (Reiser) and a PR specialist (Hunt) who portrayed the daily struggles of married life with a lot of humor. Reiser and Hunt had undeniable chemistry which seemed to really make the show work, garnering Mad About You five Emmy nominations for Outstanding Comedy Series during its 7 season run from 1992 to 1999. Hunt won four consecutive Primetime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Lead Actress in a comedy series for her role as Jamie Buchman.
Entertainment Weekly has now announced that Reiser, Hunt and Jacobson have all signed with Sony Pictures Television to help bring the series back to network television, over twenty years after it went off the air. It also notes that the show has yet to find a network, although given its huge success for NBC during its original run, it would be a safe assumption that the peacock network would likely throw its hat in the ring. The show is said to focus on the Buchmans in present day, as empty nesters now that their 17 year old daughter, Mabel, who was born during the last episode of season 5, has gone off to college.
