PUNKY BREWSTER SEASON 1:

A reboot of the 1984–1988 series of the same name, “Punky Brewster” is an American sitcom streaming television series following up to the 1980s sitcom about a young foster child named Punky. Now she’s grown up with kids of her own.

Starring Soleil Moon Frye and Cherie Johnson, with Quinn Copeland, Noah Cottrell, Oliver De Los Santos, Lauren Lindsey Donzis, and Freddie Prinze Jr., the series premiered on Thursday, February 25, 2021, on Peacock.

SEASON DETAILS:

Punky is now a freshly divorced mom of 4, including newly adopted Izzy. The reboot is more mature than the original show, with a lot more jokes and talk about sex and adult relationships, including online dating and complicated divorce. Language is mild but kids talk frankly about teenage boys only caring about “boobs.”

Punky’s ex-husband Travis (Freddie Prinze Jr.), is a charming musician that has some boundary issues post-divorce, and a character wonders if Punky is still “sleeping with” him. The show oversimplifies the adoption process and the foster system, which may be confusing for younger viewers. That said, Punky is presented as a soft-hearted, kind person who isn’t a perfect mom or partner but is always willing to learn a lesson, just like her kid incarnation.
