Gus & Wally
Cult animated series “Mission Hill” may get a reboot with creators Bill Oakley and Josh Weinstein a full two decades after its original airing. The pair are reportedly working on bringing the show back with a focus shifting to supporting characters Gus Duncz and Wally Langford.
The original series only ran for thirteen episodes and was cancelled after two, but became a cult classic. It followed two brothers who did not get along but were forced to move in together. However it was the Gus & Wally supporting characters, a middle-aged gay couple, that broke out and will now be the focus of the new series currently titled “Gus & Wally”. [Source: AV Club]

Dressed in Dreams
Actresses and producers Gabrielle Union and Freida Pinto are teaming to develop a series based on Tanisha C. Ford’s 2019 memoir “Dressed in Dreams” at Sony Pictures Television.
In her book, Ford uses fashion as a through-line for time and identity – afros and dashikis, go-go boots and hotpants of the 1960s, hip hop’s baggy jeans and bamboo earrings, and the #BlackLivesMatter-inspired hoodies of today. The symbolic garments also represent her own life, as a Black girl coming of age in a Midwestern rust belt city. [Source: Variety]
