This time the show is about a middle-class black family living in the turbulent late 1960s. It is written by Saladin K. Patterson and is inspired by his own personal experiences growing up in Montgomery, Alabama.
From 'The Wonder Years' Reboot Featuring Black Family a Go at ABC:
"The Wonder Years is returning to ABC."
"The network is teaming with Empire co-creator Lee Daniels for a reboot of the coming-of-age comedy nearly 30 years since it wrapped its six-season run — only this time, it will feature a Black family."
"The comedy has received a sizable pilot-production commitment and will open a mini writers room once the network approves the script. The goal, per sources, is for the new Wonder Years to be developed for the 2021-22 television season."
"While the original series starred Fred Savage and revolved around a white middle-class family in the 1960s suburbs, the Disney-owned network's new take focuses on how a Black middle-class family in Montgomery, Alabama, in the turbulent late '60s made sure it was "the wonder years" for them, too."
"Lee Daniels will exec produce the comedy from 'Big Bang Theory' writer Saladin Patterson, with original series co-creator Neal Marlens and star Fred Savage also attached."
From 'The Wonder Years' is getting a reboot with a Black family:
"The Wonder Years" is returning with a twist."
"Famed director Lee Daniels will executive produce and Fred Savage, the star of the original series, will direct a reboot of the hit program -- this time built around a Black family, ABC announced Wednesday."
"The half-hour comedy will focus on how a Black middle-class family in Montgomery, Alabama, "in the turbulent late 1960's, the same era as the original series, made sure it was The Wonder Years for them too," the network said."
"The reimagining comes as issues of racial justice have taken center stage in Hollywood and across the globe following the death of George Floyd in police custody."

Re-imagining? More like a No-imagining. Same show different color.

I'd enjoy seeing a reunion series featuring the original cast. I loved that show.
