What’s up?
It’s Emile Ennis Jr. here with Clevver News and just a few months after Cole Sprouse discussed
the possibility of a “Suite Life of Zack and Cody” reboot, Dylan Sprouse recently
revealed whether or not he and Cole have plans to bring back the beloved Disney show.
Alright so in case you missed it, back in May, Cole Sprouse revealed to Jimmy Fallon
that despite fans wanting a “Suite Life of Zack and Cody” reboot, reboots aren’t
really his thing.
“I don’t think it should be done if I’m being honest.
I think it’s really incendiary.
There’s a huge potential to kind of demolish that perfect little golden memory of a program
if you go back and revive it.”
Cole continued to explain to Jimmy that quote, “I’m not the biggest fan of the sequel
and the spinoff thing.
I think also, if time elapses, everyone who comes back to a program like that, they’re
not really in the same headspace, so they try to capture that same feeling that it was
in my childhood.”
But with this year being the 15 year anniversary since the show first aired, fans didn’t
give up hope that maybe… just maybe, a Suite Life reboot could still happen despite Cole’s
recent remarks.
Well, I hate to be the bearer of bad news Suite Life fans, but Dylan just revealed that
he also has no interest in bringing the show back.
When iHollywood TV asked if they had any plans to reboot the show Dylan seemed very sure
in his answer.
“Confidently no.
They’re like no.
No.
I don’t think that we will.”
Dylan went on and explained why that chapter in their lives is permanently closed.
“Primarily because that was a chapter I think of both of our separate lives or together
life that was just a role at the time.
I think that a lot of times you see these reboots happening and it’s kind of fan-service.
And I also just think that usually, they’re not as good and part of the nostalgia is gone.”
Dylan continued on saying quote,“I think the show remains special in a lot of people’s
hearts and that’s how we’re going to leave it.”
In the interview, Dylan also mentioned that aside from not loving reboots, there are “a
lot of reasons” why they wouldn’t revive Suite Life.
And some die hard fans may remember that Dylan and Cole actually may have had a falling out
with Disney towards the later days of Suite Life.
Dylan didn’t specify whether or not this had anything to do with why they wouldn’t
want to bring the show back, but some fans have been resurfacing their 2017 interview
with Vulture.
In the interview, Dylan and Cole explained that they quote “had a really awesome idea
for where the show needed to go,” but it got turned down by Disney.
At the time, Dylan said quote, “We were 18.
If that isn’t old enough to know exactly what the show needs, then … well, I would
beg to disagree.
I don’t think [Disney was] willing to work with us, really ever.
So we stopped the show.”
So who knows, maybe if things didn’t end the way they did, their feelings on reboots
would be different.
But either way, I wouldn’t expect a Suite Life reboot to be hitting our screens any
time soon or ever for that matter!
Fans have had mixed reactions to this news with some people sharing their disappointment.
This person wrote quote, “Kinda bummed there won't be a Suite Life reunion but I feel like
Dylan and Cole know what's best for the show.
They decided to end it when they did and thankfully I can just watch reruns!”
Another fan added “I miss that show so much” with a broken heart emoji.
And this fan said “I'm not asking for a reboot but can we at least get reunion”
But others agree with the Sprouse twins that the show should just be left in the past like
this person who wrote “No reboot is 100% the right answer.
It wouldn't work with a grown cast.
It would be pure cringe.”
And this fan who said “I mean.... at least we got to see Zack and Cody grow up on Deck
to which having a reboot would just ruin the whole story.
Maybe in a few year's time, it would be a good one, but right now, Dylan and Cole are
young and they probably have more dreams of doing different kinds of roles.”
And this fan is right! Cole is currently working on Season 5 of Riverdale and Dylan has a new
movie called “After We Collided” coming out later this month.
So even though we won’t be getting a Suite Life reboot, there’s plenty for Sprouse
fans to look forward to!

Also, let us know down in the comments if you’re bummed that we likely won’t be
getting a Suite Life reboot or if you agree with Dylan and Cole that it’s best to leave
the past in the past.
I’m your host Emile Ennis Jr., bye guys!
