Kappa Tau wow: Freeform is rushing a "Greek" revival!

The network formerly known as ABC Family has greenlit Greek: The Reunion, which the cabler describes as “a holiday movie” which finds the crew returning to Cypress-Rhodes University for their five-year reunion.

"Greek" premiered in 2007 and ran for four seasons and 74 episodes, before concluding in 2011. The cast included then-unknowns Spencer Grammer, Scott Michael Foster, Jake McDorman and Amber Stevens.

Series creator Sean Smith will serve as an EP on the revival alongside Shawn Piller and Lloyd Segan.

"Greek" Creator Laments Freeform's Puzzling Decision to Scrap Reunion Movie: "I'm Obviously Disappointed"
by Michael Ausiello
June 22, 2017

So why did Freeform scrap its planned "Greek" reunion movie? We tracked down the show’s top EP and, turns out, it’s all Greek to him.

A network rep has yet to provide an explanation. And, as series creator Sean Smith tells us, he is similarly waiting for some clarification on the matter.

“I delivered a script to Freeform in February that they seemed to love enough to want to move forward,” Smith explains. “We reached out to the cast. Then Freeform told me they didn’t have the money to make it this year… maybe we can next year.

Then I heard from TVLine that it’s officially not moving forward. So I’m obviously disappointed but grateful for the time I got to spend with those characters again. I’m sorry I can’t share that work with the fans.”

by Amanda N'Duka
June 7, 2019

The cast and executive producers of "Greek" reunited at the ATX Television Festival, and of course were asked whether the reunion was still happening.

While there is still no word on when or if the special would take place, creator and executive producer Patrick Sean Smith told festival goers that, “there was a script that was written for the reunion. I hope we get to do a reunion at some point with somebody who wants to do it.”
