Mayim Bialik, our favorite neuroscientist-turned-actress-turned-Blossom-whisperer, has finally spilled the beans on the much-anticipated Blossom reboot. And it’s a cocktail of hope, legal red tape, and pure 90s nostalgia.
Currently clocking in at 49 years young, Mayim is making press rounds for her Night Court guest appearance. But let’s face it, we’re all here for one thing: Blossom. Are we getting our bucket hats and funky dance moves back or what?
Reboot Status: “It’s Complicated”
Turns out, reviving a beloved 90s show isn’t as simple as dusting off old scripts and hoping the audience still remembers how to do the Blossom-inspired funky chicken. No, it’s a legal minefield.
“We were a Disney show,” Mayim explains, which sounds innocent enough until you throw in a little plot twist: “Disney acquired 20th Century Fox in 2019, so now we’re stuck in the bureaucratic Hunger Games trying to figure out who actually owns the rights to Blossom.”
Yes, you read that right. Even Blossom isn’t immune to corporate mergers and acquisitions drama. Forget “where does it live”—we’re now questioning if Blossom is an endangered species on some Hollywood rights-reserve.
The Cast: Locked, Loaded, and Ready to Blossom
Legal battles aside, there’s some good news! The original cast is not just on board; they’re practically loitering at the gate, waiting to be called back into action.
“We’re all ready. We’ve got the entire cast, Witt/Thomas production company, and even Don Reo, the original creator, has already written the script,” Mayim revealed. It’s like everyone’s RSVP’d for the Blossom reunion, but the venue won’t open its doors.
A Nostalgia-Laced Warm-Up on Night Court
To scratch her nostalgia itch, Mayim swung by the Night Court reboot. Turns out, her co-star Melissa Rauch is a huge Blossom fan, making this a full-circle moment for everyone involved.
“She’s been incredibly supportive of my Blossom reboot efforts,” Mayim gushed, adding, “It was really heartwarming to create something with someone who’s rooting for you and *Blossom.*”
So, in a nutshell: the reboot isn’t dead; it’s just buried under a pile of legal paperwork thicker than Blossom’s old diaries. But with the cast, crew, and creators on board, it’s only a matter of time before the 90s make their official comeback.
Hang tight, Blossom fans. And while you wait, maybe dust off your favorite scrunchie and practice those retro dance moves. Who knows? The reboot might need extras!
