Nineties drama Party Of Five is the latest series to be rebooted, joining the already long list of revivals including Gilmore Girls, Will & Grace and Roseanne.

However, this revival will have a twist!

The original series creators Chris Keyser and Amy Lippman have announced that the Party Of Five reboot will actually be a brand new series, with a new family and storyline.

This means no Salingers and no Scott Wolf in all his gloriousness.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the new series will follow a first-generation Latino family who have just immigrated to the US.

There is no word on whether the revival will include the deaths of the parents for this new family.

The ‘90s series followed the Salinger siblings who were forced to look after themselves when their parents were unexpectedly killed in a drink driving accident.

The eldest sibling Charlie (Matthew Fox) was forced to take charge of his four younger siblings.

The Salinger family – Bailey (Scott Wolf), Claudia (Lacey Chabert), Julia (Neve Campbell), Charlie (Matthew Fox) and baby Owen.

The original Party Of Five debuted in 1994 and was hugely successful during its six-year run.

The series launched the careers of Matthew Fox, Neve Campbell, Lacey Chabert, Jennifer Love Hewitt and Scott Wolf.

Matthew Fox went on to star in TV series Lost, whilst Neve Campbell appeared in the Scream movies.

Lacey Chabert starred in the cult movie Mean Girls as Gretchen Wieners and Jennifer Love Hewitt had great success with her series Ghost Whisperer.
