"There’s not much to tell yet! I mean it’s in the works," Milano explained. "They are developing the story and writing the script and we’ll see what happens once that all gets done. We are very hopeful that it will make it on air."

It was announced in 2020 that a reboot was in the works, and both Tony Danza and Milano will be reprising their roles as Tony and Samantha Micelli in the reboot, which is set to take place 30 years after the original show ended in 1992. The show will focus on Sam’s journey as a single mother and will tackle the different parenting styles she and her father have.

In the last season of the show, the two finally got together. It is unclear whether Judith Light, who portrayed Angela, has signed on for the reboot, so the future of Angela and Tony’s relationship is currently unknown.

The reboot is being written and directed by Mike Royce, the creator and showrunner of the "One Day at a Time" reboot for Netflix, and Brigitte Muñoz-Liebowitz who co-executive produced.
