Drake Bell is on board for a potential Drake & Josh reboot with on-screen brother Josh Peck, but with a twist. In a recent interview with The Patriot-News , Bell, 38, revealed that though he “would love to” work with Peck, 37, again, he’s got some fresh ideas beyond a typical reboot. "We've talked about it,” Bell shared, adding, “But I also didn't want to do it when everyone was doing the reboots.
" While Nickelodeon has successfully brought back several classic shows like Good Burger , Zoey 101 , and iCarly (starring Drake and Josh’s on-screen sister Miranda Cosgrove), Bell is interested in a different approach. Noting that he wants to do something “special,” Bell shared his vision for a fresh context for the same buddy comedy format. "I think, luckily for us, it’s our names, so we can still play Drake and Josh,” he explained.
“But I think it'd be funnier if we go on to doing other buddy comedies, you know? Something that is kind of a surprise, a little different.” Bell and Peck spent four seasons as the titular step-siblings on Drake & Josh from 2004 to 2007. The show’s success led to a TV movie, Drake & Josh Go Hollywood , in 2006, and two one-off specials.
