Woody Harrelson starred as Archie Bunker and Marisa Tomei starred as Edith Bunker. If you loved them in the roles of the Bunkers, hopefully, they will be back in December! ABC released a statement to announce the new special in December.
ABC said, “The holiday season is the perfect time for families to come together and enjoy another Live in Front of a Studio Audience special on ABC. Only Jimmy and Norman can top what they accomplished the first time. From the superstar talent to the unforgettable music and the richly deserved Emmy win, their collective vision has introduced a whole new generation of people to these groundbreaking and timeless stories — and now with Good Times as part of the lineup, this will surely be another can ‘t-miss television event.”
Jimmy Kimmel also shared a statement about the special. “Being a part of Norman Lear’s world was a career highlight, and working with great actors on these great shows was so much fun, we couldn’t resist tackling a holiday episode of All in the Family and one of my favorites, Good Times.
ABC also announced that there will be another live special in spring 2020. No word yet on which shows will be rebooted in the spring special.
