The Dancing Baby’s Rebirth
The 90s darling that reshaped the way we perceive legal dramas is preparing to dance once again. The series' creator, David E. Kelley, hinted at his involvement as an executive producer, with a female auteur possibly taking the reins. Reflecting on the potential revival, Kelley commented, "It should be new and different. And I did it: 100 hours."
With this sentiment, fans are left to speculate on the new angles and narratives that the show will tackle, especially in the #MeToo era. Known for pushing the envelope on sexual boundaries within the workplace, the series is sure to spark discussion and intrigue once again.
Calista Flockhart's Possible Return
Flockhart became a household name, turning heads as the quirky yet brilliant Ally McBeal in the Emmy-winning show that premiered in 1997. Now, her potential return to the small screen has tongues wagging, with fans eager to see the star reprise her role.
The original ensemble cast, including Courtney Thorne-Smith, Greg Germann, Lisa Nicole Carson, Jane Krakowski, Peter MacNicol, and Gil Bellows, gave memorable performances, with additions like Robert Downey Jr. in Season 4 captivating audiences. This rich and complex backdrop sets the stage for an intriguing revival.
No network or streamer is yet attached to the project, but with Hulu housing all five seasons of the show and sharing the Disney corporate umbrella with the show’s studio, Twentieth Television, it stands as a potential home for the Ally McBeal revival.
In retrospect, Calista Flockhart's embodiment of Ally McBeal remains an iconic moment in television history. As we look forward, we await the news of this intriguing revival and the return of Flockhart in her iconic role, ready to capture hearts once again.
