“We’re gonna reboot. I’m writing the script,” creator Jeff Eastin said during Variety’s TV Fest panel on Thursday, June 6, where he was accompanied by series stars Matt Bomer, Tim DeKay, and Tiffany Thiessen.

All three cast members confirmed they were also involved in the new installment, with Bomer, 46, saying, “I’m in!” DeKay, 60, and Thiessen, 50, then also both raised their hands in agreement.
“It’s a fantastic script and it answers all the questions that one would have if you watch the show,” DeKay said,. “And it would introduce the show to those who haven’t seen it as well. Both edges of the sword are honed.”
DeKay mentioned that the upcoming episodes will pay tribute to the late Willie Garson, who portrayed Bomer’s partner in crime, Mozzie, throughout the series. Willie Garson passed away in September 2021 after fighting pancreatic cancer.
“I told Jeff after I finished [the script], I literally was so excited, but at the same time had tears in my eyes — for good reason,” Dekay continued. “You captured the suspense, the thrill, the characters and the love in that reboot.”

While Eastin kept any plot details close to his chest, he did point out that the original show was left open-ended. He explained that while revisiting the series initially felt unlikely, the resurgence of procedurals on Netflix in the past year changed the game.
