Amanda Bynes is interested in doing a reboot of her hit series What I Like About You with co-star Jennie Garth… after graduating from conservatory
Amanda Bynes says she might be ready for a What I Like About Your reboot.
The 36-year-old admitted in an interview with TMZ that she was “very interested” in returning to the show, which was a fan favorite during its 2002-06 run on the CW.
The actress played Holly, a teenager who was sent to live with her big sister Valerie, played by Jennie Garth, 50, in New York after her father was transferred abroad for his job.

The Hairspray star admitted she hasn’t discussed returning with her co-stars but misses working with them, particularly Jennie and Leslie Grossman, 50.
“I miss them and would love to work with them again. I don’t miss acting but I loved this show so I would go back to acting for this revival. It would be a great experience to continue the show.”
At least one co-star may be willing to hold a meetup about the idea.
Sister Act: Amanda, 36, and Jennie Garth, 50, played sisters on the sitcom, which ran on the CW network from 2002 to 2006
Big idea: It was Jennie who first came up with the idea of repeating “What I Like About You” during an interview on the Behind The Velvet Rope podcast. Seen here in LA August 2019
Jennie first brought up the idea with a caveat in an interview on the Behind The Velvet Rope podcast.
“I would love to do the show with Amanda. I would just want to make sure she’s in a place where she wants to do it.’
The BH90210 actress referenced the personal and legal issues that led to Amanda retiring from acting in 2010.
The Easy A actress was placed under a statutory conservatory in 2013 and released from it in March 2022, a few months after Britney Spears, 40, was released from her own long conservatory.
Jennie claimed she already got the idea from former co-star Leslie Grossman, who would “love to revisit the show.”
