Ew.

Well, Catherine Hicks did say once that the only way she'd agree to a reboot is if started with Eric's funeral.

I used to love this show when I was little but I watch it now and all I do is roll my eyes. The writing was so heavy handed and honestly, the Camdens were a bunch of pretentious, judgmental snobs

The only Camden kid I liked was Mary... and I don't know if Jessica Biel would want to go back to playing that character or not.

Sources say that the new show would focus on a diverse family, and that none of the original cast members would appear. 

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.

Sparks was previously the showrunner on the critically-acclaimed OWN series “Queen Sugar.” He also worked as an executive producer on “Bel-Air” at Peacock and the Mike Tyson biographical series “Mike” at Hulu. His other TV writing credits include “The Blacklist” and “The District.”

Franklin is best known for producing faith based films like “Miracles from Heaven” and “Heaven Is for Real.” He previously held positions at Will Smith’s Overbrook Entertainment as well as MGM and Sony’s Colombia Pictures. In his time as a studio exec, he worked with Smith on films like “The Pursuit of Happyness,” “Hancock,” and “Seven Pounds.” His other credits include the animated Biblical film “The Star” as well as “Flamin’ Hot” and the BET+ original series “Kingdom Business.”

So basically this is the new Party of Five and Charmed reboots?

[Vee]

Did the Party of Five reboot even actually air?

[Soaplovers]

Charmed and Party of Five didn't do too good with the diverse concept...  I doubt 7th Heaven will either.

Perhaps maybe do a diverse show about a female minister and her husband and call it something other than 7th Heaven.  I know it's going out on a limb to actually come up with something different and to title it differently.
