Nearly 30 years after its inaugural six season run ended, ‘The Wonder Years’ is set to return to television courtesy of director/producer Lee Daniels (as we reported here) and Fred Savage (who played the lead in its original incarnation).
Rebooted with an all-African American cast, the critically acclaimed series – described as a “coming-of-age story set in the late 1960s that takes a nostalgic look at a Black middle-class family in Montgomery, Alabama, through the point-of-view of imaginative 12-year-old” – calls on Dulé Hill, Laura Kariuki, Elisha “EJ” Williams, and Saycon Sengbloh to portray its main family.
What’s more, award-winning actor Don Cheadle serves as the show’s narrator.
