Freeform has decided not to renew its “Party of Five” reboot for a second season.
The one-hour drama followed the five Acosta children as they navigated daily life struggles to survive as a family unit after their parents are suddenly deported to Mexico. It starred Brandon Larracuente as Emilio, Emily Tosta as Lucia, Niko Guardado as Beto and Elle Paris Legaspi as Valentina.
“Party of Five” ended its single-season run in early March, and averaged only 250,000 Live+Same Day viewers, making it one of the Disney-owned networks least watched shows this season. Only season 1 of “Everything’s Gonna Be Okay” and season 4 of “The Bold Type” were watched by a smaller audience.
The series hailed from original “Party of Five” creators Chris Keyser and Amy Lippman. Keyser and Lippman served as writers and executive producers. Michal Zebede wrote and co-executive produced. Rodrigo Garcia executive produced and directed the pilot. Sony Pictures Television Studios produced the series.

In rebooting their 1994 teen drama “Party of Five,” Christopher Keyser and Amy Lippman haven’t just dusted off their old IP to cast a new slate of characters in a familiar story. Instead, they’ve twisted their original concept to fit a scenario that is top of mind in 2020. Whereas their first show followed five siblings learning to live after both their parents die in a car accident, their Freeform version — developed alongside new writer and producer Michal Zebede — centers the Acosta family, which gets torn apart one night when Ice picks up parents Javier (Brunco Bichir) and Gloria (Fernanda Urrejola) at their family restaurant. Once they’re deported to Mexico, their children Emilio (Brandon Larracuente), Lucia (Emily Tosta), Beto (Niko Guardado), Valentina (Elle Paris Legaspi), and baby Rafa have to grapple with the realities of raising each other, as well as their own heartbreak, now that their parents can’t.

Many TV reboots hinge on nostalgia, or the simple rush of seeing the familiar gang reunited.
Freeform’s Party of Five has a more ambitious goal. The reboot of the Fox drama that aired from 1994 to 2000 revolves around the issue of immigration and the current approach taken by the administration of Donald Trump.
“It’s a better story than the original,” executive producer and writer Amy Lippman, who also created the original show, said after a sneak preview of the pilot episode Saturday at the Tribeca TV Festival.
After periodically exploring a revival of the show over the years, she recalled, “Three years ago, we began to read stories about immigrant families that were going to be separated. It seemed as if the story that we told about kids living on their own in the wake of their parents’ sudden absence was a story that was playing out in newspapers everywhere.

If you're in need of a great cry (and we all are every now and again), the official first trailer for Freeform's remake of Party of Five will definitely do the trick. Unlike how the '90s family drama followed siblings dealing with their parents dying after a tragic car accident, the updated version utilizes a more timely tragedy: the Acostas' parents are deported back to Mexico for being undocumented, leading to a distressing split with their five children.
The emotional trailer follows the kids as they band together and learn to cope with the separation, and as the oldest, Emilio (Brandon Larracuente), fights to keep them together against threats to split them up by social services. Emily Tosta, Niko Guardado, and Elle Paris Legaspi also star as the other Acosta siblings. "[Mom and Dad] managed with a lot less than what we have," Guardado's Beto says in the trailer. "They figured it out,...

Party of Five is going to hit viewers right in the feels all over again.
Freeform today unveiled the official trailer for its reboot of the hit '90s drama series.
The reboot will follow the five Acosta children as they navigate daily life struggles to survive as a family unit after their parents are suddenly deported back to Mexico.
It's certainly a departure from the original series which found the central kids forced to fend for themselves after their parents are killed in a car crash.
The new take on the series stars Brandon Larracuente, Emily Tosta, Niko Guardado and Elle Paris Legaspi.

The trailer shows the central kids finding themselves in a precarious position, and how they react to what happens is heartbreaking.
At first glance, the show seems like it should be on ABC Family, the network that came before Freeform.

Freeform unveiled a surprise panel Tuesday morning at TCA with their forthcoming reboot of Party of Five with producers Michal Zebede, Amy Lippman, Chris Keyser as well as 4 out of the 5 members of the titular party including Brandon Larracuente, Emily Tosta, Niko Guardado, and Elle Paris Legaspi. Before hearing from the producers and cast, they shared a first look clip of the series which had the children being separated from their parents who were being deported.
The heartbreaking clip is a taste of what is to come from this emotional drama. This seems in line with the original from the ’90s, which executive producers Amy Lippman and Chris Keyser also worked on.

Freeform is giving new life to “Party of Five,” but fans shouldn’t expect to see much crossover between the original series and the reboot, original series creators Amy Lippman and Chris Keyser said.
The new reboot takes the original premise — five children living without their parents — and updates it for the current political environment by turning those kids from orphans to a family of immigrants whose parents have been deported.
“We’ve had lots of opportunities to revisit the story and we waited until there was a good reason to do it,” Lippman told reporters at the Television Critics Association press tour on Tuesday. “As we began to see stories like this on the front page of every newspaper, we began to realize what was originally the story of five orphans 25 years ago had sort of transmogrified into the story of these kids who are living without their parents in a very real way.
