While that plot point may change the potential reboot a bit from the original, both Keyser and Lippman signed on to write the pilot, which they also did for the original series.
Although the creators, Chris Keyser and Amy Lippman, remain the same, some major plot points of the original series do not.
Then again, this reboot is quite the departure from the Party of Five audiences watched on Fox from the mid-90s to 2000.
The two will have some help as television writer Michal Zebede will help the two co-write this pilot.
