Judith Light Says She Might Be Too Busy for a “Who's the Boss?” Reboot, but Would Be 'Delighted' to Join

The actress starred in the 1980s sitcom alongside Tony Danza as a single dad and former pro baseball player who works as her live-in housekeeper

Judith Light looks back on her Who's The Boss? days with fondness.

In an interview with Variety published on Sunday, Nov. 3, the actress, 75, opened up about the rumored reboot of the 1980s sitcom in which she starred as a powerful ad executive alongside Tony Danza, who played a single dad and former pro baseball player working as her live-in housekeeper.

Light said she would be "delighted" to return to the characters and see where their stories have taken them — though it's not quite that simple.

"In terms of where I am and the workload that I have right now, I don’t know what my availability would be," the Before star shared.

"When I started my career, I said I’d never do a soap opera and I’d never do a sitcom," she continued. "Well, I did both those things. Then I said I would never marry an actor. And I did just that. So, I learned to never say never.”

Deadline previously reported in June 2022 that the Micelli-Bower family would return in a Who’s the Boss? sequel at Amazon Freevee that would pick up 30 years after the original’s 1992 finale. But in December 2023, the series was still awaiting a green light, and no updates have been shared since.

Executive producer Mike Royce told the TV’s Top 5 podcast, per TVLine, “I have heard that we’re gonna hear. That’s been the case for a while.”

A number of stars from Who's The Boss? have reunited outside of the show's confines in recent years. In 2022, Tony Danza, Alyssa Milano and Danny Pintauro reunited to support Danza at his cabaret show in Los Angeles. In an Instagram post shared by Milano, the trio was photographed smiling as they posed with fellow series alumna Rhoda Gemignani, who played Danza's mother.

"Getting closer. If you know what I mean. 😉😉," Milano wrote, referencing the show's upcoming revival series. "Also, if you're in LA and you like to smile — go see Tony at The Catalina Jazz Club. So good."

In September of 2024, Milano also stopped by Danza's cabaret show as he performed in New York City, and Danza shared another Instagram photo of the TV father-daughter duo. The pair could be seen posing together after Danza's sold-out musical performance of "Sinatra & Stories" at the Café Carlyle in New York City.

"My forever tv daughter," Danza captioned the photo. "Love you @milano_alyssa and thank you for being there for me."

Elsewhere in her conversation with Variety, Light opened up about working in her recent psychological thriller Before, which is airing on Apple TV+. The series also stars Billy Crystal, 76, as Eli, a child psychiatrist who just lost his wife Lynn (Light), and finds himself bonded to a troubled young boy as Lynn visits him from the other side.

Light said she was happy to have the opportunity to work with Crystal, as the pair have been friends for decades.

"Somebody once said that a soulmate isn’t just someone who completes you," she told Variety of the series. "A soulmate is someone who encourages you to complete yourself. And that’s my function in this story."
