Life Goes On is coming back with a sequel, and it's heading to NBC, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The sequel series will reportedly bring back actress Kellie Martin aka Becca Thatcher.

The pilot is from Nkechi Okoro Carroll and is described as a sequel to the original show, which debuted in 1989 and ran for four seasons. Kellie Martin is set to return as a well-accomplished doctor and decides to return to her hometown after all these years. On the new sequel, she will also be a producer alongside Chad Lowe, who also appeared in the show. Chad is the brother of Rob Lowe.

However, the new development will not take place on ABC like the original but instead on NBC. Life Goes On aired from 1989 to 1993 on ABC, and according to NBC, the show will focus on Becca Thatcher. In the original series, Rebecca Thatcher was played by Kellie Martin and was the family's youngest daughter in the series. Martin is reportedly on board to reprise her role, but it is not clear if any other cast members will do so. The Life Goes On pilot will be written by Nkechi Okoro Carroll, best known for writing on All American. Carroll will be an executive producer along with Lindsay Dunn, while Martin will be a producer along with actor Chad Lowe, who played Becca's boyfriend Jesse in the original series. Original series creator Michael Braverman will be an executive consultant as well.

WHAT WAS LIFE GOES ON ABOUT?

Life Goes On was initially set in the suburbs outside of Chicago, Illinois. In the early seasons, it centered around the family's middle child, Corky Thatcher (Chris Burke), who has Down Syndrome, but the show switched gears later on and treated Corky like any other character. The family also included mother and father Drew Thatcher (Bill Smitrovich) and Libby Thatcher (Patti LuPone), as well as eldest sister Paige Thatcher (Monique Lanier and Tracey Needham) and Martin as Becca. It was a groundbreaking series for looking at how a family with Down Syndrome interacts in everyday life. It also tackled a very serious issue later, including a main character, Jesse, who was HIV positive. The show had one episode set 25 years in the future, where Pamela Bellwood played a 40-something-year-old Becca. In that episode, she reflected on Jesse's death and all the other memories in her old house. It is not clear if a revival would consider that episode canon since it has been more than 25 years since the show went off the air.

We don't know much more regarding further details—no word on returning roles either. But with the success of several revivals already out, this one could be another added to the list. I mean if not, you know what they say:
