In news so far-fetched a network executive actually made a joke about it back in 2015 [1], '80s family hit ALF is set for a reboot. Warner Bros. is developing a new series of the show, with original writers Tom Patchett and Paul Fusco attached.

ALF ran for four seasons from 1986 to 1990 on NBC, and there were a whopping 102 episodes of the sitcom broadcast during that time. It told the story of a "friendly extra-terrestrial," who crash-landed on Earth and wound up living with a suburban middle class family. ALF (an acronym for Alien Life Form) was a puppet performed and voiced by Fusco. With Fusco on board, it seems like ALF himself will be similar to the '80s original, though he'll live with a new family in this modern reworking.

The Hollywood Reporter describes the reboot as being "in very early development," [2] with no network attached yet. But with the current obsession with rebooting and reworking nostalgic classics [3], it seems likely we may see every '80s kid's favorite alien back on our screens soon.
