Synopsis
Reboot (2022), Season 1 — eight-episode Hulu comedy to watch online on iFILM. A young writer named Hannah pitches a revival of a forgotten early-2000s family sitcom and gets it greenlit, which means showrunner Gordon now has to co-run the room with someone half his age.
The original cast is back, and the awkwardness is immediate: Reed and Bree never really closed out whatever they had going, Clay aged without necessarily maturing, and Zack is just glad to have a job. Episode by episode the show works through layered conflicts — Hannah's instincts versus Gordon's old-school methods, the actors' personal histories versus the cameras rolling in their faces. By the finale a regime change at Hulu throws everything into question.
No filler, all eight episodes earn their runtime, and the cast handles the comedy and the quieter moments equally well. Stream Reboot Season 1 online on iFILM.
