NBC thinks the '80s are
Wonder-ful.
Looking to cash in on more old school remakes and spin-offs of the like, the Peacock has ordered a one-hour pilot for
Lost in the '80s, described as an '80s version of
The Wonder Years, according to
The Hollywood Reporter.
There's good reason too - the series is the brainchild of
Wonder Years writer-producer Bob Brush, who will executive produce the half-hour show with Eric Tannenbaum, Kim Tannenbaum and Mitch Hurwitz, he of
Arrested Development fame.
'80s, also dubbed a cross between
Fast Times at Ridgemont High and
The Ice Storm, will confront the social issues of that era, in the same vein
Wonder Years did to various social and historical events of the '60s.
No word yet on who's going to be its Kevin Arnold. -
