Freeform is dipping its toes into the '90s nostalgia wave, ordering a pilot for a reboot of family drama Party of Five.
The new version offers a twist on the original Fox series, in which the five Salinger siblings had to raise themselves after their parents were killed by a drunk driver.
In the new pilot, announced Thursday by Freeform, five children in the Buendias family "navigate daily life struggles to survive as a family unit after their parents are suddenly deported back to Mexico."
A Netflix reboot of Norman Lear's One Day at a Time also switched the focus from a Caucasian family in Indianapolis to a Cuban-American family in Los Angeles.

Chris Keyser and Amy Lippman, who created the original Party of Five, will write the pilot and produce the pilot.
The series, which ran from 1994 to 2000, launched the careers of Matthew Fox, Scott Wolf, Neve Campbell, Lacey Chabert and Jennifer Love Hewitt.
Party of Five would be the latest remake of a popular 1990s series, following the fall revival of NBC's Will & Grace and the return of Roseanne to ABC on March 27.
No casting has been announced.
