Despite airing its final episode more than 15 years ago, ‘Sister Sister’ remains one of the most loved and lauded sitcoms of all time.

Still, with both Mowry sisters having blossomed into womanhood and enjoying success in their solo endeavours, a reboot seemed somewhat far-fetched.

During an interview to promote new show Instant Mom, Tia revealed that she wants to revisit the twins’ on-screen story, going as far as to relay the direction she’d want it to take.
