The Nanny is back – but not in the way you’d expect.
Fran Drescher and the cast of the original series are returning for a virtual table read, Variety reports.
The virtual table read will take place on Monday, April 6 via Zoom, and will be posted on the Sony Pictures YouTube page.
“Laughter is the best medicine! So, in these challenging times, Petah and I thought, wouldn’t it be great if we pulled together the original cast of ‘The Nanny’ for a virtual read of the pilot?” Fran shared about the reunion in a statement, referring to the show’s co-creator, Peter Marc Jacobson.
She added, “It’s a once in a lifetime Pandemic Performance for our fans around the world who are currently stressing in isolation and could use a real upper! It sure has given each of us a lift and we hope it does for you as well.”
Fran will reunite with Charles Shaughnessy, Daniel Davis, Lauren Lane, Nicholle Tom, Benjamin Salisbury, Madeline Zima, Renee Taylor, Alex Sternin, Ann Hampton Callaway, DeeDee Rescher, Rachel Chagall and Jonathan Penner.
We can’t wait for this!
