While not the most complicated logline, Warner Bros. TV confirms The Jetsons will be a sitcom set 100 years in the future, where this gadget-friendly family will be viewed through a “modern filter.”
I love seeing the future depicted in weird ways for TV shows, and The Jetsons could offer some truly wild predictions for where things will be in 2118.
Thankfully, the pitch behind this updated take on The Jetsons isn’t going to be a world-weary look at the darker undertones of the franchise — in the vein of Riverdale’s take on Archie Comics — and sounds like it will attempt to adhere to the original’s tone, as it’ll be a half-hour comedy in the multi-cam format, meaning a live audience will be involved.
