Ever wondered what goes on behind the filming of a sitcom? The show Reboot takes us through the ups and downs the complete crew faces while trying to revive an old sitcom. A show within a show, it has all the cast members come together for a reboot of the old 2000s series “Step Right Up.”
The show started airing earlier this year on September 20th, 2022, and will soon release the 8th addition to this season. Brought to life by Steven Levitan, the show focuses on a dysfunctional cast, combined with a strained Father- daughter relationship between the writers.
Reboot has received a rating of 7.5 on IMDb, and even when the plot is unassuming, its characters make the show worthy of being added to the list of good sitcoms of the modern era.
Reboot (2022): The Story So Far
Hannah Korman is called over by Hulu’s executive producers to talk about filming a new show soon. She suggests a Reboot of the fictional series “Step Right Up” with much more realistic dialogue and scenes. All the previous actors are called over. Reed Sterling, who used to play the role of “Lawrence,” now had a girlfriend but also an unsuccessful acting career. Lawrence used to be the stepfather in the old sitcom.
Bree Jensen used to play the role of “Josie,” but after the show ended, she married a Nordic duke and became a duchess. This didn’t last long as her husband was caught cheating on her, and she divorced him. Josie is Cody’s mom and Lawrence’s wife.
Clay has the roughest life, with constant involvement in drugs and alcoholism. He used to play the role of Jake, who was Josie’s ex-husband. He tried to let go of his bad habits and became a stand-up comedian. Zack Jackson, the child, had been working as the lead actor in many low-cost movies.
Now that their old show was having a reboot, they all had a chance to make their lives better again. What they don’t expect is that Gordon, their old writer, will be a part of this Reboot again. This causes Hannah, who reveals he was her father, to leave the show’s production. Gordon’s script is old and boring, and all the cast members go back to Hannah and convince her to join the show again alongside her father.
The series shows the lives of actors coming back to work together after years, along with the father-daughter relationship between Gordon and Hannah possibly taking a turn for the better.
Reboot (2022) Episode 7: Recap
The last episode was aired on October 18th, 2022, and featured Bree trying her hand at writing. Since all actresses these days have other work besides acting, she wanted to be a writer and possibly have a backup career. In the writer’s room, she ends up pitching the worst ideas that don’t make any sense or, rather, feed her vanity.

Clay, on the other hand, was struggling to say lines of his part. Hannah was supportive, but he still couldn’t do it. Not even after almost 80+ tries. This causes Hannah and Gordon to exchange places. Hannah is now in the writer’s room, and Gordon goes to see Clay’s performance.
Hannah ends up getting mad at Bree, but Bree soon realizes that being a writer isn’t a joke and starts giving decent ideas. Clay still couldn’t say his line, and after Gordon hugs him, it comforts him enough to complete his part.
Reed is invited over by Zack to join his basketball game. What he doesn’t know is that Zack’s friends are all much younger than him, but upon being forced by Zack and the children, he ends up playing the match.
He accidentally hurts one of the boys, and out of nowhere, two girls start filming him, accusing him of Anti-semitism. Zack comes in and saves the day by promising the girls to show up at prom in exchange for deleting the false videos.
