No Disney Isn’t Rebooting The Golden Girls For Disney+ In 2024?

Recently, rumors have been circulating online about a reboot of the beloved 1980s sitcom The Golden Girls, allegedly coming to Disney+ in 2024. According to these claims, the new version would feature a star-studded cast, including Tina Fey as Dorothy, Amy Poehler as Sophia, Lisa Kudrow as Rose, and Maya Rudolph as Blanche. The series was said to have ten episodes, set for release this summer on Disney+.

But is there any truth to these rumors?

No, the reboot is entirely fictional. The post that sparked this speculation originated from the satirical Facebook page YODA BBY ABY. The page is known for creating parody content, and the Golden Girls reboot post is just one of several comedic claims they’ve made.

In the original post, a humorous description pitched the imaginary series with taglines like: “Get ready to laugh until it hurts,” and teased the comedic genius of its all-star cast in a hilarious new setting. However, this, along with other fake announcements from March, including Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya starring in a new Splash movie or Andrew Garfield and Megan Fox remaking Mannequin, were all satirical.

The page even included a disclaimer at the end of the post, stating, “This is for entertainment purposes only and not real,” confirming that there is no actual reboot of The Golden Girls in development.

So, while it’s fun to imagine a modern twist on the iconic show, fans will have to enjoy reruns and leave the rumors where they belong – in the realm of satire.
