Peacock cancels Punky Brewster revival after one season

Deadline

The Soleil Moon Frye-led sequel series to her classic 1980s kids show won't be renewed for Season 2. The show debuted in February to disappointing reviews. "Punky Brewster was a beloved series that tackled meaningful storylines with so much heart,” said Lisa Katz, President, Scripted, NBCUniversal Television and Streaming. “It was a bright light for so many viewers and we are forever grateful to Universal Studio Group, the producers, the cast and crew and especially to Soleil Moon Frye for reigniting the Punky Power within everyone.”
