63 Head of the Class (2021): Season 1

Comedy series debuts November 4 on HBO Max

Isabella Gomez (One Day at a Time) is the head of the cast for this reboot of the high school sitcom that ran for five years on ABC in the late '80s (and featured Howard Hesseman and then Billy Connolly in the lead role as an outside-the-box teacher guiding a class of honors students). Set at a different school but roughly following the same formula, the new series is produced by Bill Lawrence (Ted Lasso, Scrubs) alongside American Vandal vets Amy Pocha and Seth Cohen. Robin Givens guests as a grown-up version of Darlene Merriman, the role she played in the original series and who is now the head of the PTA at the school attended by her son.
