Lee Daniels, who will produce the reboot of '80s sitcom The Wonder Years, has revealed a first look at the new cast.
Posted to his Instagram, Daniels shared a photo of the Williams family in their 1960s dress, including Saycon Sengbloh, Laura Kariuki, Dulé Hill and Elisha "EJ" Williams, who will portray the show's lead character, Dean Williams.
Also tagged in the post are original Wonder Years star Fred Savage, co-showrunner Marc Velez and Avengers alum Don Cheadle, who will narrate the series. Savage, who played Wonder Years main character Kevin Arnold in the original sitcom, will serve as a producer on the show as well as direct the reboot's pilot episode.
While the cast has slowly been revealed since the reboot was announced, this is the first look at the cast all together, dressed as their characters. Hill (Psych) will play Dean's father, Sengbloh will play his mother and Kariuki will portray Dean's older sister Kim.
The original series aired for six seasons from 1988 to 1993 and starred Savage as Kevin Arnold. The series was narrated by an adult Kevin (Daniel Stern) looking back on his childhood growing up in a white middle-class family in a 1960s suburb. The reboot will also take place in the '60s, but instead will center on the Williams', a black family living in Montgomery, Alabama.
Produced by Lee Daniels, Saladin Patterson and Fred Savage, The Wonder Years stars Elisha "EJ" Williams, Saycon Sengbloh, Dulé Hill and Laura Kariuki. The series will air on ABC.
