Vanessa Williams has revealed that, while overdue for a new reunion, the "Ugly Betty" familia likely won't be rebooting the beloved ABC series any time soon.
The 58-year-old entertainer — who played fashion magazine editor Wilhelmina Slater opposite America Ferrera on the dramedy — tells EW a new, revived iteration isn't coming in the foreseeable future.
"The concept would be great. Unfortunately, our creator-executive producer, Silvio Horta, died last year due to suicide, so I don't know what the status of the rights are," she explains. "We love each other, we keep in touch, but, who knows. At the moment, not at all [possible]."
