Was Rita Always Confident About the Show’s Future?
When we spoke with Rita just over a month ago, she was cautiously optimistic. “We’re still trying to keep the show going,” she told us during an interview with Closer Weekly. “In my heart, I believe it’s possible.” And boy, was she right! Rita’s confidence in the show’s potential was spot on, and now we know why she had that feeling. Her words were prophetic, and they remind us that sometimes, hope really does pay off.
Why Pop TV Decided to Bring It Back
Brad Schwartz, the president of Pop TV, explained in a press release why the network was so eager to jump on board. “How amazing is it to be involved with a series that’s not only brilliant but culturally significant?” he said. “This show tackles important themes while making you laugh your head off. If Schitt’s Creek has taught us anything, it’s that love and kindness always win.” The new season will consist of 13 episodes, and it’s set to premiere in 2020. Can we say can’t wait?
A Little History Lesson: The Roots of 'One Day at a Time'
This version of One Day at a Time is actually a reboot of the original sitcom created by the legendary Norman Lear, which aired on CBS from 1975 to 1984. Pop TV, which is owned by CBS, is bringing the series back home in a way. Norman developed the original show, while Gloria Calderón Kellett and Mike Royce crafted the modern take. Credit also goes to Whitney Blake and Allan Manings for creating an idea that’s now given us two iconic series.
What Made the Netflix Version So Special?
The original One Day at a Time centered around a divorced single mom (Bonnie Franklin) raising two daughters (Mackenzie Phillips and Valerie Bertinelli). The Netflix version took that premise and gave it a fresh twist by focusing on a Cuban-American family. Alongside Rita Moreno, the show starred Justina Machado, Todd Grinnell, Isabella Gomez, Marcel Ruiz, and Stephen Tobolowsky. It wasn’t just a reboot; it was a reimagining that spoke to a new generation of viewers.
