Recently, the internet has been buzzing with excitement over a rumored modern reboot of The Golden Girls, supposedly set to premiere on Disney+ in March 2025. According to the circulating information, the show would feature an all-star cast including Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Maya Rudolph, and Lisa Kudrow—an exciting combination that instantly caught the attention of fans.

The post — which had been shared more than 57,000 times and received more than 44,000 comments, as of this writing — included an image of the four actors, with Poehler and Kudrow wearing hairstyles that resemebled the original “The Golden Girls” characters. The poster claimed there would be ten episodes of the alleged series. The Facebook caption stated:

However, after fact-checking, it turns out that this news is purely a rumor, originating from a satirical Facebook post. No official announcements have been made by Disney or any producers regarding such a project. While this may come as a disappointment to many, the overwhelming enthusiasm for the idea proves just how beloved The Golden Girls remains to this day.

Hope for a Revival

Although the rumor is false, it highlights the ongoing desire among fans to see The Golden Girls make a comeback. The original series (1985-1992) was not just a comedy but a groundbreaking show that explored themes of friendship, independence, and aging with wit and charm. Given the current trend of nostalgic TV revivals (Frasier, Sex and the City, That ’70s Show), the possibility of The Golden Girls returning in some form is not out of the question.

If a reboot were ever to happen, it would need to preserve the original’s sharp humor and warmth while adapting to modern-day social dynamics—perhaps addressing topics like online dating, technology, and the evolving roles of older women in today’s world. A cast like Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Maya Rudolph, and Lisa Kudrow would be a dream team, capable of capturing the wit and charisma that legends like Bea Arthur, Betty White, Rue McClanahan, and Estelle Getty originally brought to life.
