Last week, Keke Palmer announced that her beloved TV show, True Jackson, VP was getting
a reboot.
Obviously fans were beyond excited, but now, her former co-star Robbie Amell talked about
a potential reboot and it doesn’t sound too promising.
What’s up?
It’s Emile Ennis Jr. here with Clevver News bringing you all the latest news updates you
need to know and we have to talk about this reboot or lack thereof.
In case you missed it, last Tuesday Keke Palmer posted that her Nickelodeon show, True Jackson,
VP will be back on air next year.
She posted her Tik Tok on Twitter with the caption saying quote, “Congrats!
Another reboot!
Y’all made this happen”
And the Tik Tok is a video of her dancing to the True Jackson VP theme song and said
quote, “When they canceled True Jackson, VP prematurely just to reboot it in 2021”
Keke also retweeted her co-star Danielle ‘s response to her post that said quote, “@KekePalmer
your brilliant song for our opening credits always (and STILL) makes me tear up a little!Amanda
approves of your idea for a #TJVP “reboot” but she disapproves of your “robot” (as
you know she prefers Ballroom dance moves) @Nickelodeon”
Obviously this all sent fans into a frenzy!
People were replying to Keke’s tweet saying things like “KEKE U FOR REALLL?!?!
THAT SH*T WAS MY CHILD HOOD YESSSS”
And “THIS BETTER NOT BE A JOKE”
Others even chimed in with suggestions for the reboot like this fan who said quote, “Ok
but if this is real.
I hopes it’s for like mature audiences (like insecure) cause True is a grown ass woman
now.”
And this is extra exciting because there has been so much reboot and reunion news lately...
like with Demi Lovato reuniting with the cast of Sonny With a Chance and Ariana Grande chatting
with the cast of Victorious.
But those were just Zoom reunions, this is real talk of a real full blown reunion!
Well apparently it isn’t as set in stone as Keke made it seem with her original post.
Her former True Jackson co-star Robbie Amell recently opened up about the reboot and he
didn’t seem as confident that it was happening as Keke did.
We’ll get into everything he said, but before we dive in, don’t forget to subscribe to

Alright, so if you were a die hard True Jackson fan back in the day, you know the series premiered
back in November 2008.
It went on for only three seasons before it ended in August of 2011.
It was the end of an era and many fans agreed with Keke that it was cancelled too soon.
So we were all surprised and excited when Keke announced the reboot news, but unfortunately
her cast members were also surprised and a bit caught off guard.
According to Bustle, it seems that Keke was joking about a reboot being in the works at
Nickelodeon but that doesn't mean she and her co-stars aren't into the idea of bringing
True Jackson VP back for real.
While Robbie Amell revealed that he only learned about the news as people were talking about
it online, he said that he would be really excited to get the crew back together.
He told Entertainment Tonight that quote, “I was learning about it as people online
were learning about it.
And then me and Keke and Ashley and Matt were all kind of texting back and forth, like,
‘This would be really fun.
This would be awesome.’
So I don’t know if there’s any real truth to it right now…
But I would definitely jump back in.
I love that show and, you know, it was one of my first real jobs in L.A.”
And in case you forgot, Robbie played Jimmy Madigan, True’s love interest in the show.
And while Robbie isn’t certain the reboot is happening, he did spill some tea on where
he thought his character Jimmy would be today.
He said quote, “Jimmy was always a little bit of a mess.
I feel like things aren’t probably going to be stellar for him but, with that being
said, maybe it’s the opposite.
You know, maybe things are just really great for Jimmy now.
I feel like he’s the type of guy who would, like, accidentally win the lottery or something.”
And then Robbie revealed what he thinks would have happened between him and True.
He said quote, “I feel like you either go one of two ways, either Jimmy and True are
still together or they find each other again in the show, which I think either one would
kind of be interesting and cool.
But I think there has to be that romance there still because it wasn’t over on the show.”
And he’s totally right!
I know True and Jimmy’s relationship is something I would totally be tuning in to
see how it turned out in a reboot.
But I want to know what you guys think about all of this.
Do you think a reboot is really happening and Robbie just isn’t in the loop, or do
you think Keke spoke to soon?
Let me know down in the comments below and get that conversation started.
And Keke isn’t the only one swirling up reboot rumors.
Earlier this month Lindsay Lohan teased a Mean Girls reboot with the original cast and
producers.
I know that’s another reboot I’d like to see!
