After a successful run at CBS, The NannyThe cast of the cast have carved out a place in the industry.
The sitcom ran six seasons from 1993-1999 and was about Fran and her adventures while she was a nanny for her three children. Over time, Fran (Fran Drescher) and her employer Maxwell (Charles Shaughnessy) begin to fall in love and developed a romantic relationship by the end of the series.
Drescher, who gained fame for her role in The Nanny’s title role, has been open about her interest to see a revival.
“It’s all coming together in a really healthy way. Once [another one of my projects] has legs and it’s up on its feet, then we may re-explore doing the Nanny reboot. Right now it’s really found a very happy, comfortable place on HBO Max,” the actress exclusively told Us WeeklyApril 2022. “How I looked on that show would be how I would want The Nannyto see if we have done a reboot. We’re actually going out with a different show for me right now. And we’ll see. If that doesn’t sell then maybe the timing will be right to revisit bringing The Nanny back on TV.”
The Niania star added: “Either with the original cast or with a whole new cast and bring it into the moment and just redo it in a more contemporary way that’s no longer in the ’90s but in the 2020s. There’s a lot of possibility where that’s concerned.”
At the time, Drescher noted her hope that the “global message” of the show continues to leave a lasting impression on viewers.
“It doesn’t matter what you look like or what you speak like, it’s what’s in your heart that counts. And I think that that message is probably more important today than ever,” she explained. “And to treat kids respectfully and honor them as human beings and not talk down to them is important. To be tolerant of those who don’t happen to be like you is a daily practice. To make kindness and compassion your compass is really also a daily practice and the reason why we are on this earth.”
Drescher was instrumental in many reunions between cast members over the years.
