“Party of Five,” a 1990s teen drama that focused on a family grappling with life after the death of their parents, is getting a reboot with a Mexican American family whose parents are deported.
Disney announced this month that the Sony Pictures Television retooled Generation X-era show will air on the Freeform network and will star a Latino cast.
The new series is headed by the show’s original creators Amy Lippman and Christopher Keyser and comes as millions of Latinos in the U.S. wrestle with the uncertainty around deportations and aggressive immigration enforcement under the Trump administration.
The original series, which ran from 1994 to 2000 on Fox, centered on the Salinger family whose parents died in a car accident caused by a drunken driver.
The new show will follow the Acosta children as they work through an unsettling future when their parents are abruptly deported to Mexico. It will star Brandon Larracuente, Emily Tosta, Niko Guardado and Elle Paris Legaspi.

You see the same story line on nightly network and cable news broadcasts.
And none of them are related to each other as they were used as border tickets by other illegals.
I’m starting to wonder if a show exists that doesn’t try to lecture us on the wonders of leftism.
Next they’ll have muzzies from Somalia living in MN and crying while they throw kids off of balconies, chase folks in train stations while wielding hammers and pipes. Having sex with your brother whom you’ve married such that he can illegally enter the States. Should be a great theme for a show.

And the Democrat 2020 campaign begins.....
Good one..!
That was darkly funny.
Will it be broadcast in Spanish?
Season 2:
Angelita spreads mumps to the whole neighborhood as L’il bro Carlito uses ice cream to tempt an 8 y.o. to come come home with him. He rapes her, stabs her in the neck, then discards her still living body in a DUMPSTER, where she expires from positional asphyxia..! (loud lafftrack here)
(happened in Santa Cruz, Calif)
oh no! will the theme song now be that ghastly “Mexican polka”?
Of course in this reboot the parents manage to make it back for all of the holiday specials.
it’ll last about as long as the Murphy Brown reboot ...
The children should be sent with the parents. Problem solved.
When will we get “Bienvenido de Nuevo, Kotter!”
