Melissa Joan Hart to Star in 'Clarissa Explains It All' Reboot | THR News

Nickelodeon is in early talks to reboot 'Clarissa Explains It All' with Melissa Joan Hart reprising her role, now as a mother. The original series, which aired from 1991 to 1994, was Nickelodeon's first with a female lead and inspired other female-centered shows. Creator Mitchell Kriegman may return to write and produce. The reboot is in early development, and Nickelodeon has not commented as deals are not finalized. The original series' success led to a novel sequel in 2015. Hart believes Clarissa's story can be explored further, unlike her other show, 'Sabrina, the Teenage Witch.' Nickelodeon also plans to revive 'Blues Clues.'
