Keenen Ivory Wayans returns for his comedy series, but will the Fly Girls be back?
October 28, 2011
Homey D. Clown fans rejoice! FOX is rebooting the 1990s sketch-comedy series In Living Color, with creator Keenen Ivory Wayans set to return as the host.
According to FOX's official press release, the reboot will air Spring 2012, as two half-hour specials that will feature a new cast of "fresh, young talent" as well as musical guests.
Deadline.com reports that Color 2.0 will air as part of the network's 25th anniversary celebration, and the reboot carries a series option as well. So if the first two installments are a ratings success, the reboot will get a regular series slot on FOX's schedule next season.
In Living Color originally aired from 1990 to 1994. Its brand of sketch comedy helped start the careers of Jim Carrey, Damon Wayans, Jamie Foxx and former Fly Girl Jennifer Lopez. No word yet if any of the show's former cast members will make special guest appearances.
