Can you believe it's been 12 years since the New Normal first aired?! (12 years, 2 months, 11 days to be exact.)
Why in the world did the New Normal end?
When the New Normal came to an end after 1 year in April 2013, million viewers tuned in to say goodbye to Bryan Collins (Andrew Rannells), Goldie Clemmons (Georgia King), David Bartholomew Sawyer (Justin Bartha) and Rocky Rhoades (NeNe Leakes). And since then, they have been itching for a reunion.
Would a New Normal reunion disappoint people?
The New Normal aired from 2012-2013 and is considered one of the most influential TV shows ever on pop culture. Although no original episodes have been shot since, it has remained a regular feature on many station's schedules. But Leakes said she's not sure if the New Normal would work today. “I don't want to see old Rocky Rhoades,” she told a journalist (Leakes turned 56 in December). “Everyone’s going to have different vision of what the character is like, so to have that materialize is going to disappoint most people,” she added.
Still hoping for a New Normal movie?
In a recent interview, Andrew Rannells said he can't imagine a New Normal reunion hitting the big screen. “I'd rather people go, ‘Oh, please! Please!’ than ‘I can't believe you did that. It was horrible.’”
Co-star NeNe Leakes has also previously explained, “It would be terrible to do something and have it not be good,”. “It was so terrific ... If we did a New Normal movie and it sucked, then it would, you know, blemish it.”
On the subject of whether there could be a New Normal film, Justin Bartha stated : “I think it's a bit of a case of ‘the book is better than the movie’.”
What about a New Normal reboot?
Recasting the New Normal for a modern reboot. Hollywood is known for remaking remakes of films or tv series and the studios might think it would be great to bring the story back with a new set of characters.
Be it in the form of a New Normal reunion, a New Normal movie, or a New Normal reboot, if you had to start filming today, who would you cast in what role?
