Revival of “The Golden Girls” with a unique twist
For those who stick to the moral code and laughs of “The Golden Girls,” there’s a special treat on the horizon. This beloved Emmy Award-winning series is set to return, but with an exciting twist—with an all-black cast. The original series, which aired from 1985 to 1992, chronicled the lives of four white ladies enjoying their golden years in Miami, Florida. However, this upcoming reboot promises to reimagine the classic show from a black perspective and breathe new life into the beloved concept.
The original “Golden Girls” featured the iconic ensemble of Betty White and Bea Arthur sharing a household in Miami and going through the ups and downs of their retirement years. The show was a huge success, running for seven seasons and captivating audiences with its witty humor and relatable characters.
Although fans of The Golden Girls will be happy to hear about this resurrection, the news is not so great. It appears that the redesign is only planned for a one-day special that will air via Zoom, rather than the show returning in its entirety.
Ross, best known recently for her starring role in Blackish, appears to have shared the good news about The Golden Girls revival with her fans via an Instagram post. It looks like she will be reinterpreting Betty White’s character, Rose Nylund. Other cast members will include Regina King as Dorothy Zbornak, a role made iconic by Bea Arthur; Sanaa Lathan (Nip/Tuck); and Sophia Petrillo’s character.
The special will air on Zoom and Color of Change. Zoom has seen more success since the pandemic. According to the Daily Mail, the largest online racial justice organization in the country is called Color of Change.
Details will be provided. The women could use the script from the first season. But it is also possible that a completely different story will be written for them. The second choice would undoubtedly attract a larger audience.
Ross received a flood of responses from her followers after sharing the news on Instagram. People seem really interested in seeing The Golden Girls reinterpreted from a black perspective because they’ve been waiting for the event to happen.
“I’ll be watching! Registered and ready,” wrote one supporter.
Another person exclaimed, “Dreams do come true!”
A third supporter chimed in: “I swear I’ve been telling people we need black gold girls.”
Most viewers are excited, but some are angry that Zoom is “messing with the classics.”
“Please no. I don’t want to be disrespectful, but The Golden Girls is a classic and it should stay that way,” says the critic.
While I’d love to see you all work your magic together, another critic added: “It would be nice to see a unique piece and let this masterpiece be. I would never want anyone, let alone white counterparts, to redo your original work. Just i wanted to say that I love you too much not to support you.

No one can replace the original Golden Girls. I don’t believe it will be a big hit. Sorry to say.
This might be a great sit-com but shouldn’t ride on the coat-tails of the Golden Girls. It was a classic, in a league of its own. I’d watch this new show, but I would hate the title…it could never live up to its name.
