Maureen McCormick Says a “Brady Bunch” Reboot Would Have to ‘Knock Her Socks’ Off for Her to Do It (Exclusive)

Maureen McCormick is opening up about the possibility of a reunion with her Brady Bunch castmates.

On Sunday,  Dec. 15, at the Celebrity Holiday Bowling with Best Buddies in Studio City, Calif., McCormick — who played eldest sister Marcia Brady on the series — spoke to PEOPLE exclusively about the rumors of a Brady reunion.

When asked if another meeting of the on-screen siblings was in the cards, the 68-year-old admitted, “I don't know,” though she added that she recently heard some of them were trying to organize “something.”

“It's so hard to do a reboot or a remake of something,” she explained. “So I feel very protective of it in a way. It has such great memories for so many people, but it would just have to absolutely knock my socks off for me to want to do anything with it. I would know in my heart.”

“But it was such an incredible show to be a part of,” she added of the original series, which aired on ABC from 1969 to 1974. “And my best memories of the show are the people, the crew, and their families.”

McCormick shared that she frequently texts her former costars and that she and Christopher Knight, who plays Peter Brady, recently had dinner with their spouses.

In 2019, the six Brady siblings reunited for HGTV’s A Very Brady Renovation, which saw them renovate the house they called their TV home. They also joined forces for a Christmas special.  Additionally, McCormick co-hosted the series Frozen in Time, on which she helped renovate retro homes.

At Sunday’s event, McCormick was supporting the group Best Buddies, which aims to empower people with disabilities such as Down syndrome and Autism. In many cases, as a result of their involvement with Best Buddies, people with intellectual and developmental disabilities secure rewarding jobs, live on their own, become inspirational leaders and make lifelong friendships. This event celebrates the mission of Best Buddies while highlighting the power of inclusion, connection, and community.

McCormick has been a longtime supporter of the group, in part because of her relationship with her brother Denny, who has intellectual disabilities. “This is family for me,” she told PEOPLE of Best Buddies. “All the buddies, all their mom and dads, all their brothers, sisters. It's just a huge family. And we all have these beautiful people in common and they bring so much happiness and joy and pureness and goodness to our lives.”

“Both my parents sacrificed their whole lives for Denny and were just heroes of mine,” she said. She started taking over care of her brother after her mother died, and at first she was “really challenged," she said.

“I always knew Denny was incredibly special, but until I took over, I don't really think I got that unconditional love,” she said. “And I feel so strongly about it that I feel every single person in the world should have a best buddy or a friend with special needs because they do teach us about the things that matter most.”
