Fans of the series, which aired from 1992 to 1997 will have to wait for the full reunion episode to learn ifMartincast members have considered stepping back into their beloved roles.
In 2021, Campbell and Arnold said a reboot isn’t likely because it can’t be brought back with the full cast. “It’s something that we wanted to happen,“Arnold saidon theTamron Hallshow.
She continued, “It’s something that we tried very hard for it to happen, but the way it looks to me, realistically, it’s not going to happen. Not unless it’s an animation.”
The clip also features a bittersweet mentio ofTommy Ford, who played Tommy Strawn on the series. The actor died in 2016 at the age of 52 from a surgery complication.
“This one’s for you, Tommy,” the four cast members say in unison at the start of the reunion trailer.
