Calista Flockhart would ‘be game’ for ‘Ally McBeal’ reboot
Calista Flockhart is ready to get back into the courtroom.
The “Ally McBeal” alum, 59, recently teased that a reboot of her hit ‘90s legal drama could be in the cards.
“I think there are some people talking about a reboot, but I don’t know much about it,” she told Entertainment Tonight at the New York City premiere of “Feud: Capote vs. The Swans” on Tuesday.
She added that she “would be game to revive the show.” “Sure, I’m always game.”
Talk about a possible reboot was reignited after the “Ally McBeal” cast reunited at the Emmy Awards earlier this month.
The series aired on Fox from 1997 until 2002 and also starred Greg Germann, Jane Krakowski, Gil Bellows, Lucy Liu, Peter MacNicol and Courtney Thorne-Smith.
The show followed lawyer Ally McBeal (Flockhart) as she worked in the Boston law firm Cage and Fish.
At the Emmy Awards ceremony, Germann, 65, MacNicol, 69, Bellows, 56, and Flockhart (who was in attendance with husband Harrison Ford) reunited on stage.
She first appeared at the podium solo, with the show’s theme song, “Searchin’ My Soul” by Vonda Shepard playing in the background.
The three men then came out dancing and joined her.
“I loved working with Peter, Gil and Greg, and I still do. The entire ‘Ally McBeal’ cast was so talented, magical, and [so was] the show, created by the brilliant, 11-time Emmy winner David E. Kelly,” Flockhart told the audience at the time.
“Groundbreaking, revolutionary, introducing us to a dancing baby and unisex bathrooms, Ally McBeal defied convention with humor and humanity,” she continued.
In 2022, news first surfaced an “Ally McBeal” revival was in development at ABC.
The “Supergirl” actress is next appearing in the second season of Ryan Murphy’s anthology “Feud.”
Flockhart is playing socialite Lee Radziwill (who was also the younger sister of Jackie Kennedy) in the eight-episode drama.
“Feud: Capote Vs. The Swans” will chronicle “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” author Truman Capote as he creates an inner circle of rich women in the 1970s.
The stacked, all-star cast also consists of Tom Hollander, Naomi Watts, Diane Lane, Chloë Sevigny, Demi Moore, Molly Ringwald and Joe Mantello.
The first two episodes will drop Wednesday, Jan. 31 at 10 p.m. on FX, and will premiere on Hulu the following day.
