Aug. 20 (UPI) — The revival of the 1980s sitcom, Punky Brewster, will not be getting a second season on the streaming service, Peacock.

The 10-episode update debuted in February and starred Soleil Moon Frye as the title character, a photographer raising three kids of her own, as well as a foster child.

The ensemble also included Cherie Johnson, Freddie Prinze Jr., Quinn Copeland, Lauren Donzis, Oliver De Los Santos and Noah Cottrell.

The new show was written and executive produced by Steve and Jim Armogida. Original series creator David Duclon was also an executive producer on the revival.

Punky Brewster was a beloved series that tackled meaningful storylines with so much heart,” Lisa Katz — president of scripted series at NBCUniversal Television and Streaming — said in a statement Thursday.

“It was a bright light for so many viewers and we are forever grateful to Universal Studio Group, the producers, the cast and crew and especially to Soleil Moon Frye for reigniting the Punky Power within everyone.”

Peacock also canceled its sci-fi drama, Brave New World, and the late-night talk show, Wilmore, after one season.
