Revival hits: 5 classic shows making a comeback in 2025

2025’s biggest TV revivals – Daredevil: Born Again, Frasier, Doctor Who, Little House on the Prairie, and King of the Hill – as beloved shows return with fresh twists

Hold onto your remotes, folks, because 2025 is about to hit you with a tidal wave of nostalgia! The TV gods are digging deep into the vaults, dusting off our all-time favourites and giving them a shiny new glow-up. Whether you’re a ’90s kid, a ’00s binge-watcher, or just someone who loves a good comeback story, these five legendary shows are strapping on their boots for a second act.

Let’s dive into the big ones that’ll have everyone hitting play the second they drop.


1. Daredevil: Born Again – Disney+
After disappearing into Marvel’s multiverse madness, Daredevil is back in a big, bloody way. Charlie Cox returns as the blind vigilante lawyer Matt Murdock, and fans are getting everything they begged for: gritty alleyway justice, courtroom tension, and that deliciously terrifying Kingpin played by Vincent D’Onofrio. Forget bubblegum Marvel – this is raw, real, and ridiculously good.

2. Frasier – Season 2 – Paramount+
Frasier Crane’s new Boston-based comeback is like a posh martini with a dash of midlife crisis. With snappy dialogue, awkward family reunions, and unexpected Gen Z clashes, the revival is no nostalgia snooze. It's a witty deep dive into growing older with somewhat grace. Kelsey Grammer still kills it, and Niles’ absence? Surprisingly well handled.

3. Doctor Who – Season 15 – BBC One / Disney+
Ncuti Gatwa steps into the TARDIS like he was born for it: radiant, razor-sharp, and refreshingly unpredictable. With Varada Sethu as his new companion, the show brings together trippy timelines with very current commentary. Russell T Davies is back running the show, and honestly? This might be the most exciting Doctor Who has felt in over a decade.

4. Little House on the Prairie – Netflix
Goodbye rose-tinted prairie dresses, hello realism. Netflix is rebooting Little House on the Prairie not as a cutesy history lesson but as a grounded, inclusive portrait of survival and struggle in the American West. Based more closely on the original books and less on TV tropes, this reboot has the potential to be a Yellowstone for your soul.

5. King of the Hill – Hulu
Hank Hill and his deadpan gang are back, and they’ve aged like fine barbecue. The new King of the Hill revival reunites the original voice cast but brings 2025 problems to small-town Texas, from influencer culture to climate anxiety. It’s still awkward, still heart-warming, and still sneakily brilliant in its satire.

So, why are we obsessed with reboots again?

Let’s be real, guys! We know that not all comebacks stick the landing. But these five? They’ve got the OG magic, fresh twists, and enough fan frenzy to drown out the haters. Whether it’s Matt Murdock’s fists or Carrie Bradshaw’s credit card, some legends just won’t quit.

So, grab your snacks, cancel your plans, and let the revival marathon begin.

Nick Frost says he will never copy Robbie Coltrane as Hagrid in HBO’s 'Harry Potter' reboot

When Nick Frost was cast as Rubeus Hagrid in HBO’s upcoming Harry Potter reboot, comparisons to Robbie Coltrane were inevitable. After all, Coltrane’s portrayal defined the character for a generation. But Frost isn’t trying to recreate what’s already been done. He’s stepping into the role with clear eyes, aware of the legacy, but determined to bring his own version of Hagrid to life.

In an interview, Frost acknowledged Coltrane’s unforgettable impact but drew a firm line: he won’t mimic him. “I’m not going to try and be Robbie,” he said. “You have to honour what came before, but I’ll bring my own take.” For Frost, Hagrid is more than just a gentle giant. He sees the character as a mix of both toughness and vulnerability, like a big-hearted man with childlike qualities, both tender and fierce.

Is 'Doctor Who' bringing back Billie Piper as the next Doctor after Ncuti Gatwa’s exit?

In the final moments of Doctor Who’s latest episode, “The Reality War,” Gatwa’s Fifteenth Doctor gave up his current form in a high-stakes finale. In true Doctor Who fashion, he regenerated, but this time, the new face wasn’t a complete stranger. Viewers were stunned to see Billie Piper appear, looking strikingly similar to Rose Tyler, the beloved companion from the show’s 2000s revival. Whether she is the next Doctor or something else entirely is unclear.

The credits only add to the mystery. They list Piper under “Introducing Billie Piper,” avoiding the usual confirmation of her as the Doctor. Piper herself played coy, saying she was thrilled to return but urged fans to “wait and see” what her reappearance really means.
