series reboot

A series reboot is when a TV show is restarted from scratch, often with new actors, storylines, or settings, while maintaining the original concept or premise. It’s usually done to update the series for modern audiences, attract new viewers, or revive interest after a period of inactivity. Reboots can differ from sequels or continuations, as they often disregard previous storylines and aim to reset the universe to a familiar starting point. This approach allows creators to reintroduce the show with fresh perspectives while honoring the original's identity.
