Reboot creator Steven Levitan: 'There’s a lot of concern that the pendulum has swung too far... On the other hand, if we can improve as a society by being kinder to each other while still maintaining our sense of humor, wouldn’t that be a nice thing?'
, follows the cast of fictional early-aughts sitcom “Step Right Up” reuniting when, yes, Hulu decides to reboot it. There’s Reed , pretentious capital A actor who never got his big break; Bree , who returns from a small Nordic country after a royal divorce; Clay , a filthy stand-up comedian who can’t stay out of trouble; and Zack , a child actor who never really grew up.
Every aspect of this show I tried to make as authentic as possible. So I didn’t want to create some fake streaming service that just immediately takes you out of it. Wherever we went, it was always my plan to try to use that place [in the show].Zero. They’ve been fantastic partners on this. There was one time — I wouldn’t even call it pushback — where I had some very technical language in there about them talking about demographics, and it was absurd.
No, I did not. That sitcom came about through reverse engineering. I knew I wanted to have these two male actors, a female actor and a former child actor. So I started with what would be the most interesting thing in the present day for me to work with. And then I kind of reverse engineered a sitcom out of that. So I thought of shows like “My Two Dads.” My first show was “Wings,” which had two main male leads and a female lead, and I think that was in my head a little bit.
I think if you’re doing a reboot for the right reasons, it’s fine. If you have a new, creative, exciting take on something, it’s OK. If it just feels like a retread, and there’s nothing new about it, then maybe we can all try a little bit harder. I think everybody aims to make new, and there have been some really clever twists on old properties.
