Before there was Sabrina Spellman, there was Clarissa Darling.
And Melissa Joan Hart – who played both of the iconic roles – has revealed what she would want to see from a Clarissa Explains It All reboot.
The original series ran for 65 episodes on Nickelodeon from 1991 to 1994 and starred the actress as Clarissa, a teen who spoke directly to the audience as she tried to deal with her problems including family, boys and school.
Earlier this year, there were reports that the series was set for a reboot – with Melissa Joan Hart once again taking on the role.
Only, this time, she would be playing the mum of the family.
During an appearance on People Now (around the 14 minute mark), the actress weighed in on the possible reboot – as well as what she would most like to see from the role.
She said:
“It’s all moving pieces; it took us years to even draw up contracts – but there’s a possibility. That doesn’t mean it’s going to go anywhere, though. “
Explaining how there were “numerous different ways” a reboot could go, Melissa added:
“I’d like to see it be a Gilmore Girls – a mom and her daughter – kind of thing.”
We’d totally be on board with this.
