Sources told “The Hollywood Reporter” that ABC Signature Studios will produce the series, and that the original screenwriter, Steven Brill, will pen the script. Not many more details are known, such as whether original star Emilio Estevez will be on board for the project.
It’s also unclear whether the new series will be a reboot or a sequel. There are many different ways a revival could be played, including a focus on the young players all grown up, or an introduction of a whole new corp of ragtag hockey misfits. By the third installment of the original films, the story was largely focused on Joshua Jackson’s character, Charlie Conway, so it might be fun to see him in a coach role.
