NBC recently confirmed details of a sequel to 1980s sitcom Punky Brewster.
Original star Soleil Moon Frye will return as a single mother of three trying to get her life back on track when she meets Izzy (Quinn Copeland), a young girl in the foster system who reminds Punky a lot of her younger self.
The series will also see Cherie Johnson return as well as Freddie Prinze Jr. guest starring as Punky’s ex-husband.
New cast members include Lauren Donzis, Oliver De Los Santos, and Noah Cottrell.
“I am beyond thrilled and honored to be bringing Punky back!” Frye said. “I’m grateful to our NBCUniversal Content Studios and Peacock family and to our incredible team of creators, writers, producers, cast and crew that have put their hearts into this journey every step of the way. It is with great love for the amazing people who were such a pivotal part of creating the Punky magic that I will do my very best to honor their memory as we once again share Punky with the people that love her and a new generation discovering her for the first time. To our incredible fans who have stood by us, thank you for believing in me and I will do my best to make you proud. I love you. Punky Power forever!”
An Australian broadcaster is yet to be announced for the 10 part series.

This sounds fun. I’ll check it out for sure. So by the sounds of it Peacock won’t be launching here in Australia? As it is ad supported and free I would definitely try it. I hope 10 picks it up. It’s only 10 episodes and it would be a great for Peach.
