We NEED this!

It’s extremely hard for me to type this without grinning like a Cheshire cat.

The best show of all the noughties’ shows may be coming back and I’m close to losing my shit.

It featured incredible characters, hilarious situations and most importantly killer fashionable ensembles reminiscent of Sex and the City.

Ugly Betty, the iconic American comedy-drama, which entertained fashionistas and ugly ducklings alike for four long years may be returning to our screens.

Hulu‘s going to pick us up for a two-hour special…”

“That’s not true, but if you tweet it… Everybody here take out your phone. Hashtag: Betty Reboot. We need a hashtag and tweet it out and then we’re going to get Hulu to buy a two-hour special.”

Creator of the iconic series Silvio Horta also confessed to thinking of bringing the show back:

“Here’s the only thing I know for sure – if we were to do something, it would be a dream, but everybody on this stage would have to be involved.”

Ugly Betty fans on Twitter were more than eager to express their excitement.

So they’re thinking about it. We’re thinking about it.
