You asked (?) And got it right: the 80s-style icon, Punky Brewster, is back, baby, and her shoes still don’t match. In the first trailer for the Peacock series family reboot, we see that while Soleil Moon Frye’s alter ego outfits are still a little eccentric, some other things have changed. She has three children, for one, and has just separated from her husband, Travis (Freddie Prinze Jr.). Do not fear, however, as a peculiar foster child, not unlike Punky’s younger self, has arrived to help excavate his long-buried “Punky Power”.
Check out the trailer, while reminding yourself that Peacock’s Saved by the gong restarting was really good.
