AceShowbiz - Tia Mowry may have good news for fans of "Sister, Sister". In a recent interview with Nylon, Tia confirmed that the 1990s sitcom, which starred her and her twin sister Tamera Mowry, might be getting a revival.
"We're looking, right now, for a producer and a writer, someone who can kind of be a leader of the pack in regards to running the show," Tia told the magazine. However, she revealed that the process was a lot trickier than she had expected. "I thought people would kind of be jumping on it, but it's a lot harder than my sister and I thought it would be. Everything in my career has always been a challenge," the "Tia Mowry at Home" host shared.
Tia, however, affirmed that the revival was "not dead in any kind of way." She continued, "We're moving forward, we're taking those strides. They're slow strides, but we're pushing as hard as we can to make people happy and make our fans happy."
In the interview, the Cooking Channel star also shared a fun tidbit about the show. It turned out that the show's storylines were based on the girls' actual lives. "A lot of people might not know this, but every year at the beginning of the season, me and my sister would sit down with the producers and tell them what's going on with our lives in real life, and they would turn those into stories," Tia said. "As a teenager working on a television show, I wasn't able to experience certain things that a lot of teenagers experienced," she concluded.
On "Sister, Sister", Tia and Tamera portrayed Tia Landry and Tamera Campbell respectively, identical twins who'd been separated at birth and adopted by two different parents. Tia and her single mother Lisa Landry (Jackee Harry) later moved in with Tamera and her widowed father Ray Campbell (Tim Reid) after they accidentally bumped into each other while shopping for clothes.
"Sister, Sister" ran for six seasons from 1994 to 1999. It originally aired on ABC for two seasons, before being canceled and later picked up by The WB.
