Evergreen US series The Waltons has just had its rebooted telemovie The Waltons: Homecoming screen stateside, to mark a 50th anniversary.
It was introduced by original cast member Richard Thomas, who appeared across many its 9 seasons as ‘John Boy’ alongside stars such as Ralph Waite, Michael Learned and Will Geer.
Aussie Ben Lawson (Neighbours, 13 Reasons Why, Firefly Lane, Designated Survivor) featured as patriarch John Walton Sr., joining Bellamy Young who stars as his wife Olivi and Logan Shroyer as John Boy.
There’s no word if this may screen in Australia as yet.

Ben Lawson sounds like he went a little to far south for his accent.
I don’t approve of most reboots, but this looks good. And they’ve even included the original music. Very heart warming.
So out of place in 2021, it’s woeful.
