A reboot of “7th Heaven” is currently in early development at CBS Studios, Variety has learned from sources.

Anthony Sparks will serve as executive producer and showrunner on the reboot. Jessica Biel, who starred in the original series, is executive producing under her Iron Ocean banner along with Michelle Purple. DeVon Franklin will executive produce via Franklin Entertainment and his overall deal with CBS Studios.

Sources say that the new show would focus on a diverse family, and that none of the original cast members would appear. As the project is still in the very early stages, deals are still being worked out and no network or streamer is attached.

If no one from the original show is playing any of the characters, I don't consider it to be a rebooting.

God bless you and the remaining cast members always!!!

That's exactly what reboots are. Reboots don’t feature the original cast and it’s a reintroduction of a similar concept. Examples are the new One Day at a Time, Charmed and Walker. They may contain nods or references, but are not related to the original series.

Revivals continue with the original cast like the new Mad About You, Murphy Brown, and Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life.
