The Wonder Years – Watch the trailer for the new TV show

This new version of The Wonder Years was created by Saladin K. Patterson. Inspired by the 1988 series of the same name, it stars Elisha “EJ” Williams as Dean Williams, and follows his life as he grows up in Montgomery, Alabama in the late 1960s. Don Cheadle narrates the series as the adult version of Dean.

THE WONDER YEARS is set in the late 1960s and takes a nostalgic look at the Williamses, a Black middle-class family in Montgomery, Alabama, through the point of view of imaginative 12-year-old Dean.

The Wonder Years also stars Saycon Sengbloh, Dule Hill, Laura Kariuki, Julian Lerner, Amari O’Neil, Milan Ray, and Allen Maldonado.

Fred Savage, who was the star of the original series, directed the pilot episode. He also executive produced the show, alongside creator Saladin K. Patterson, Lee Daniels, and Marc Velez.

The series is set to premiere on 22nd September 2021 on ABC.
