In January 2021, HBO Max announced their intentions to reboot the popular franchise which originally ran from 1998 to 2004 on HBO and released two spin-off movies in 2008 and 2010.
Sarah Aubrey, the head of original content at HBO Max, shared that she’s excited to have fans revisit the iconic characters from the original series and movies as they’ll get to see how they have evolved since then.
“I grew up with these characters, and I can’t wait to see how their story has evolved in this new chapter, with the honesty, poignancy, humor, and the beloved city that has always defined them,” Aubrey said at the time.
