At least prior to the 2000 feature film? Charlie's Angels (https://www.grunge.com/129872/the-strange-history-of-charlies-angels/) even immediately following its cancelation in 1981, was still a relatively hot commodity. Fox during its early years, tried to get a reboot off the ground initially titled Angels '88 (https://fycharliesangels.tumblr.com/post/24059003876/in-1988-angels-88-was-a-proposed-reinvention-of).
There were going to be four Angels instead of three. The most notable actress to be attached to that project was Tea Leoni (https://fycharliesangels.tumblr.com/post/112381825305/angels-88-cast-update-tea-leoni-continues). The series never got off the ground in no small part due to the 1988 writers strike (https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:llxpefY8TvgJ:https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1988-05-20-ca-3944-story.html+&cd=2&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us).
I wonder if there was never a formal scripted reunion because it would've been difficult getting either Kate Jackson or Farrah Fawcett onboard. And in order to get people interested, it would be logical to want at least one other original Angel involved. I'm highly confident that Jaclyn Smith and Cheryl Ladd would've been more willing to do a reunion if approached.
