Mayim Bialik Says ‘Disney Got This One Wrong’ As ‘Blossom’ Revival Falls Apart

Bialik reflected on the difficulties of reviving the beloved sitcom and called it her “last attempt” to assert herself as a screen actor.

Despite her best efforts, Mayim Bialik says a planned revival of “Blossom” won’t be happening.

The five-time Emmy nominee shared the news in a lengthy post on her Substack, published Monday. In it, she recalls how she and original series creator Don Reo had discussed a modern take on the NBC sitcom after her stint on “The Big Bang Theory” came to an end in 2019.

Bialik says she and Reo presented their vision for a “Blossom” revival to executives at Disney, who “seemed to love it” and “understood what we wanted to do.”

Feeling “certain” that the revival “was moving forward,” Bialik went on to star in Fox’s “Call Me Kat” and serve as a co-host of “Jeopardy!” Once her schedule was clear at the conclusion of those stints, however, she says Disney put the nail in the new series’ coffin.

“For no particular reason, we were told ‘no.’ We asked for the rights so that we could let the market decide if audiences might want to see these characters all these years later,” she explained, per TV Line. “We were told Disney reserves the rights in case they ever want to do a reboot of ‘Blossom.’ The reboot we all wanted to do was now, with Don’s script.”
