Sony to Reboot the FACTS OF LIFE

Sony Pictures Television is in early talks to reboot the Facts of Life, according to The Holywood Reporter. The Diff'rent Strokes spinoff originally aired on NBC for nine seasons. No network is attached and the search for a writer has begun.

Sources say Leonardo DiCaprio and Jessica Biel are in early talks to executive produce the reboot.

The series, which starred Charlotte Rae, Lisa Whelchel, Kim Fields, Mandy Cohn and Nancy McKeon, is one of the longest-running comedies of the '80s and revolved around a housemother and her students at the all-female Eastland School in New York. The multicamera comedy was created by Dick Clair and Jenna McMahon.
