The special event comes after Romano and Garrett reunited in September 2025 on stage at the 77th Emmy awards.

Speaking of an actual reboot or sequel series, Garrett told PEOPLE earlier this year that show wouldn't be the same without the parents.

The actor was of course referring to the passing of on-screen parents Roberts and Boyle.

"They were the catalyst, and to do anything that would resemble that wouldn't be right to the audiences or to the loyal fan base," he told the publication at the time.

The series which aired from 1996 until 2005, had audiences laughing over the course of its nine seasons.

The show was nominated for 69 Emmys, winning 15, and is one of the most popular and critically acclaimed family sitcoms of all time.

Peter Boyle as Francis 'Frank' Barone

And who could forget Frank Barone, the series' stubborn and oh so loveable grandpa.
