THR is reporting that Warner Bros. TV is in early development on a reboot of the classic 80s sitcom ALF.
ALF followed a friendly but sarcastic extraterrestrial nicknamed ALF (“Alien Life Form”), who is taken in by a middle-class suburban family after crash-landing in their garage in Southern California.
The reboot has original writers Tom Patchett and Paul Fusco attached, and will reportedly see ALF – a.k.a. Gordon Shumway, from the planet Melmac – returning to Earth and moving in with a new family.
ALF originally aired on NBC, running for 99 episodes across four seasons between 1986 and 1990. It also spawned a made-for-TV movie Project ALF, along with two animated series and ALF’s Hit Talk Show, which ran for seven episodes in 2004.
