Mindy Cohn Claims Co-Star Sabotaged Show Revival

Mindy Cohn revealed that a planned revival of 'The Facts of Life' was derailed by a 'greedy' co-star who attempted to secure a separate spin-off deal. Following the positive response to a 2021 special featuring the original cast, executive producer Norman Lear expressed interest in a reboot, leading the cast to hold discussions and hire a writer. However, Cohn disclosed that one cast member sabotaged the effort by trying to make a deal without the others, which caused significant emotional turmoil among the group. Although she refrained from naming the co-star, Cohn described the situation as 'not cute' and acknowledged that it shattered their long-standing friendship. As a result, the revival is now confirmed to be 'very dead,' with no desire among the cast to work together again. The fallout from this incident has left some cast members unable to move past the betrayal.
