There's an announcement of a new reboot, revival, or complete reimagining every week it seems, and while some are met with cheers, some are met with confusion. Can a Sex and the City revival work without Samantha (Kim Cattrall)? Could Frasier really Frasier without everyone besides Frasier? What does a True Blood reboot look like from the creator of Riverdale? Will iCarly be the same without Sam Puckett (Jennette McCurdy)? 

All of these questions and more will be answered in the coming years, assuming all of these reboots even get off the ground. Sometimes, things just don't work out (miss you already, Lizzie McGuire), but for now we've got you covered with a full list of all the announced reboots, revivals and re-whatevers that are headed to television and to its various new and emerging streaming services. 

Even if only a fraction of them actually make it to screen, we're going to be very busy for a very long while.

REBOOT/REVIVAL: Pretty Little Liars (HBO Max)
Status: In the works

Riverdale showrunner Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa is executive producing a brand new Pretty Little Liars series for HBO Max called PLL: Original Sin. It's set in the same universe as the Freeform show, but about a whole new group of people. Chilling Adventures of Sabrina writer Lindsay Calhoon Bring is writing the pilot, and the show has been given a straight-to-series order.

Here's the series description: 

"Twenty years ago, a series of tragic events almost ripped the blue-collar town of Millwood apart. Now, in the present day, a group of disparate teen girls—a brand-new set of Little Liars—find themselves tormented by an unknown Assailant and made to pay for the secret sin their parents committed two decades ago...as well as their own. In the dark, coming-of-RAGE, horror-tinged drama Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin, we find ourselves miles away from Rosewood, but within the existing Pretty Little Liars universe—in a brand new town, with a new generation of Little Liars."
