The comedy starring Paul Reiser and Helen Hunt as a married couple in New York City ran on NBC between 1992 and 1999.

The series is the latest set for a revival and will be heading to Spectrum along with Reiser and Hunt in November.

When the show ended in 1999, it did so with the couple’s recently-born baby, Mabel, all grown up. But, producers have decided to begin the new chapter two years prior to that scene and do not want to tie themselves down to that particular series of events.

“We’re futzing with time a little bit,” said executive producer Peter Tolan. “The things that you saw in that might happen in the future, but some of it won’t, so we’re not strictly being held to that finale. I’m pretending it didn’t happen.”

Mabel, set to be played by Abby Quinn, will be heading off to college in the season premiere on November 20th.

It was confirmed earlier this year that we would be jumping into the final frontier with a Mad About You reboot.

Paul Reiser and Helen Hunt played the roles of Paul and Jamie Buchman throughout the series, which ran for 7 years on NBC.

The Spectrum Originals’ revival will be set in the present, meaning their little girl, who was born near the end of the show’s run, is now an adult.

Abby Quinn of Landline has been cast in the role of the grown-up Mabel, alongside Reiser and Hunt who will be reprising theirs.

Peter Tolan will serve as showrunner, in addition to executive producer and writer for the series. Danny Jacobson, who co-created the show with Reiser, will act as executive consultant, while Hunt will direct the first episode.

12 episodes have so far been ordered and are set to debut later in 2019.

If the reboot happens, Paul Reiser and Helen Hunt are attached to reprise their roles. 

The Hollywood Reporter confirms that the NBC comedy is being pitched to different networks. While there are no takers yet, it is reported that producers Sony Pictures is working hard at selling the revival to multiple outlets, including CBS.

“It has been pitched; it is still being discussed,” CBS executive VP Thom Sherman told reporters Wednesday, following his network’s pre-upfront press briefing in New York.

There have been months of discussion about the possibility of a Mad About You revival beginning in December. NBC, the original home of the Emmy-nominated series is not taking part in the reboot. The new season, should it happen, would be set in present day and will follow Paul and Jamie in the wake of their 17-year-old daughter Mabel’s college acceptance. Yes, this means that just like Will & Grace and Roseanne the new season will completely disregard the series finale. 

In April Hunt said that she and Reiser were “talking about how to make [a revival] work and not wreck it,” adding that it would be “compelling to visit these characters 20 years into a marriage after raising an entire human being. So depending on some pieces falling into place, it could happen.”
