'Party of Five': Freeform's reboot to deal with immigration and separation of families
The pilot for ''Party of Five' is written by Christopher Keyser and Amy Lippman, and deals with the current immigration situation in the US
Freeform, Disney’s young adult cable network, announced the pilot order for 'Party of Five' from Sony Pictures Television, which will be a modern reimagining of the groundbreaking original series.
The original 'Party of Five' ran for six seasons and focused on five San Francisco siblingsand their baby brother — who unite as a family after their parents are killed in a car crash. It ran for six seasons on Fox, from 1994-2000.
The new avatar too has five kids, but they are navigating the deportations of their parents, giving it a nice little modern twist. The idea is from the original series creators Christopher Keyser and Amy Lippman, who have also written the pilot.
