The Wonder Years reboot renewed

We previously reported that Fred Savage has been fired as an executive producer and director of The Wonder Years reboot. Despite this news, the show has been renewed for a second season. The show follows a similar theme to the 1980s show by the same name but follows a family in Alabama.

Fred starred in the original series and has been working on the reboot. After allegations of “inappropriate conduct” were filed, Disney investigated the claims and ended up firing Fred. A spokesperson for 20th Television, a subsidiary of Disney Television Studios released a statement.

This wasn’t the first time allegations were made against Fred. During the original series, his on-screen mother played by Alley Mills claimed the show was canceled due to ongoing harassment allegations against Fred.
