As long as writers come up with the right plot and the original cast is willing to return, there will always be joy in seeing our favorite characters continue telling their stories. That said, why are studios making movie sequels and rebooting TV shows without the OG stars? Netflix is currently filming a 13 Going On 30 movie with an entirely new cast, while Disney Channel’s Wizards of Waverly Place sequel series has come under fire from some OG stars. Perhaps if Disney had gone ahead with plans involving the original cast, things would be different (a lesson they also should’ve learned for the Lizzie McGuire reboot). The magic of those films, however, was the original cast reuniting to continue their characters’ stories, not just recycling a similar plot with new faces and keeping the original name attached for nostalgia’s sake.
