Tia Mowry-Hardrict is still hoping for a reboot of her and twin Tamera Mowry-Housley's hit '90s sitcom, Sister, Sister.
During a recent appearance on an episode of PEOPLE's Defend Yourself, the Instant Mom actor said a potential follow-up series was being held up by certain "legalities."
"What's in the way is the rights," she said. "We ended up moving forward with it and we didn't have all of the rights in place — I guess there were still some legalities that needed to come into place that put it on hold."
"And once that put it on hold, then Tamera and I are not just sitting around, you know what I mean?" continued Mowry-Hardrict, 42. "She gets an opportunity, I get an opportunity — but yeah, it's sad."
Tamera Mowry-Housley is not giving up on the possibility of a Sister, Sister reboot with her twin. In a separate interview with NBC LX host Natalie Lizarraga, the actor revealed “I’m still in hopes of making it happen, it’s just I believe in the timing,” adding: “It took years to get Sex and the City to do a reboot, it might take Sister, Sister a bit, but I’m a believer, I’m a believer in it."
Sister, Sister aired for six seasons, from 1994 to 1999. The beloved sitcom starred Mowry-Housley and Mowry-Hardrict as twin sisters Tia Landry and Tamera Campbell, following the two as they reunited 14 years after being separated at birth and moved in together, blending their families. The groundbreaking show featured a predominantly Black cast, including Jackée Harry as Tia's mother, Lisa, Tim Reid as Tamera's father, Ray, and Marques Houston as their annoying neighbor, Roger. The series aired on Nickelodeon UK as well as on Nickelodeon Australia and Nickelodeon Latin America.
Mowry-Hardrict previously discussed a potential reboot of the show during a 2019 interview with PEOPLE.
"I hate to say it, but it's kind of dead," the actress said at the time. "Nothing's going on right now, but that doesn't mean that it's not going to happen at all. Never say never."
In October, her sister Mowry-Housley reflected on the legacy of Sister, Sister, which became available on Netflix for the first time the month prior.
"To see the younger generation loving it just as much as our generation did, it's really cool to relive that moment," said the former co-host of The Real. "I think in a way [we're] experiencing why something becomes a classic."
"When I was doing Sister, Sister, I never thought of it that way," she added. "But now, watching it and seeing my kids watch it — and they love it — you're like, 'Wow, we really did hit gold there.'"
Update (4/21) - Speaking to BuzzFeed, Tia said: “I hate to be the person to say this, but I don’t think that’s happening right now,” she told Buzzfeed. “There is no reunion whatsoever going on. But Tamera‘s doing her thing and I’m doing my thing, so as it stands for right now, there’s no Sister, Sister reunion and there’s no Twitches 3 reunion.”
CBS All Access, the soon-to-be rebranded streaming service from ViacomCBS, today (Feb. 9) added two more fan-favorite Nickelodeon shows to its programming library: Instant Mom (seasons 1, 2 & 3) and Ryan's Mystery Playdate (season 1)!
About Instant Mom
Stephanie is a former party girl who trades in her cocktails for carpools when she instantly adds three children to her life by marrying their father, Charlie. Needless to say, she struggles to find a balance between her fun-loving and slightly irresponsible lifestyle with being a full-time stepmother. As she learns what being a mother is about, partially with help from her own mom, Stephanie tries to do things her own way. Among the motherly experiences she has are being on the parents' dance committee and planning a "staycation" for her family. Stars Tia Mowry-Hardrict (Sister Sister) as Stephanie, Michael Boatman (Spin City), Sydney Park (The HALO Effect, CSI: NY) as Gabby, Tylen Jacob Williams (Everybody Hates Chris, Parks and Recreation) as James, Damarr Calhoun as Aaron, and Sheryl Lee Ralph (Moesha) as Maggie.
Additionally, Jackée Harry, who played Tia's Mom Lisa in Sister, Sister guest stars in the series Mother's Day special, "Not Your Mother's Day".
Originally aired as part of Nick Jr.'s NickMom late-night programming block for moms.
About Ryan's Mystery Playdate
This live-action series stars 7-year-old internet sensation Ryan Kaji, whose YouTube channel has grown to become one of the world's largest with videos that feature him and his family playing with toys for kids. The Nickelodeon program sees the unboxing phenom tackle a series of imaginative, physical challenges and solve puzzles to reveal the identity of his play dates. Co-starring are Ryan's parents, and proprietary animated characters, including Gus the Gummy Gator and Combo Panda, also make appearances. The series encourages physical play, models positive family relationships and features a creative problem-solving curriculum.
Sister, Sister and Instant Mom star Tia Mowry has revealed several moments in which she saw her white father and black mother treated differently due to their skin colour.

The actor opened up about how she would watch her mother Darlene get discriminated against, while her father Timothy would instead be able to benefit from white privilege.
Sharing a Throwback Thursday image of herself and her twin sister Tamera posing with their mother on the red carpet, she shared several examples.
The actor wrote: "This is a photo of my beautiful mother. Growing up biracial, mom is black and dad is white, it was very clear to me seeing the privilege that my dad had as opposed to my mother."
The Nickelodeon alum continued: "Some examples, during our Sister, Sister days when traveling for work we would often fly first class.
"There were several times my mother was asked if she was in the right seat. Another incident that stood out for me was when we were buying our first home as a family."
The Family Reunion star explained: "My goal is to see change. This year has been a tough year. Several tears have been shed.
"However, a friend told me these tears will not be wasted. The love and support around the world has kept me going. A #change is gonna come."
Tia shares a son and daughter with her husband, actor Cory Hardrict. She is one of the many stars who have been speaking out about the injustice faced by African-Americans due to systemic racism within society following the tragic death of George Floyd at the hands of a racist policeman.

“The thing that I can tell you is we’re trying everything that we can possibly do to make everybody happy and the fans happy,” she told Us Weekly on Thursday, January 25. “The thing is there’s no new news that I can report to you, but it’s not dead.”
The actress, 39, added: “There’s a hurdle that we have to jump. There’s only one other hurdle and once we jump this hurdle, it’s on and cracking. We just have to wait until that kind of fleshes itself out.”

The Instant Mom alum also said they have to find a home for the show, adding: “We have the writers. We have everything. Everything is in place, so we’re going to be taking meetings in the next few months, so we’ll see.”
Jackée Harry, who played Lisa Landry on the hit ABC sitcom, seemed to confirm that the show will be coming back during an appearance on Steve Harvey’s talk show on January 16. “Yeah, it’s happening. I’m excited,” Harry, 61, said. “Tia and Tamara [Mowry] are my babies. They won’t leave me alone. I can’t get rid of none of these women!”
The Game alum addressed her former costar’s reaction with Us, saying: “Jackée, I don’t know what happened. My sister and I, we were like, ‘What?’ I think she’s just really excited about this reboot.”
Tia has been talking about reviving the sitcom famous twins starred in since way back in 2015.
The cast of Sister, Sister.
As well as Jackée playing their mum Lisa, Tim Reid is tipped to return as their dad Ray.
It's thought that the revival will be a direct sequel, following the twins 18 years on as they have their own children.
As well as starring together on the sitcom, Tia and Tamera previously joined forces on reality show Tia & Tamera, which ran for three seasons on the Style Network from 2011 to 2013.

Nickelodeon USA has announced the quad-tastic news in a trailer, below, that Nick will premiere the hour-long third season finale of the networks popular live-action comedy series Nicky, Ricky, Dicky & Dawn, titled “The Wonderful Wizard of Quads”, in August 2017!:
"There's no place like ham!"
The brand-new one-hour Nicky, Ricky, Dicky & Dawn special "The Wonderful Wizard of Quads" finds a hometown celebrity (Tia Mowry-Hardrict, Instant Mom, Sister, Sister) returning to Boulder, Colo., to direct the local production of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. The Quads know these are the roles they were born to play, but when Dawn does not get the part of Dorothy, she goes on a mission to prove that she deserves the part over a theater diva (Jade Pettyjohn, School of Rock, Rufus 2). The special will also guest star three-time Olympic gold medalist Gabby Douglas, who will play Twisty, the head of the Gold Medal Girls who resides in the land of the munchkins.
The episode also will feature two original songs performed by Greene and Pettyjohn.

"There is a lot of flipping, which is very relatable, and kind of sassy lines. I saw myself in the character, how I would act and things I would say," Douglas told The Hollywood Reporter.
"I like not playing myself," Douglas added. "That's what I love about acting: It's different and it's an art. You get to be someone else and connect with someone's emotions."
"We're so not in Boulder right now"
While filming the episode in January 2017, Douglas said there was a moment when she gave the cast and crew "an adrenaline rush." She was performing a gymnastics move in the air when she noticed a group of kids close to her. "Someone almost did, but no one got injured," Douglas said. "They told me to do a flip and I saw all these kids behind me, so I had to slow down gravity and kind of bend my knees to not hit them."

Nickelodeon USA will premiere the hour-long third season finale of the networks popular live-action comedy series Nicky, Ricky, Dicky & Dawn, titled “The Wizard of Quads”, on Saturday 5th August 2017 SOON!
* As the date is currently unconfirmed, I've crossed it out. New episodes are speculated to debut in August, though. Apologies for the mix-up.

The brand-new one-hour Nicky, Ricky, Dicky & Dawn special, formally titled "The Wonderful Wizard of Quads" finds a hometown celebrity (Tia Mowry-Hardrict, Instant Mom, Sister, Sister) returning to Boulder, Colo., to direct the local production of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. The Quads know these are the roles they were born to play, but when Dawn does not get the part of Dorothy, she goes on a mission to prove that she deserves the part over a theater diva (Jade Pettyjohn, School of Rock, Rufus 2).

"They told me to do a flip and I saw all these kids behind me, so I had to slow down gravity and kind of bend my knees to not hit them."
If Tia Landry were a real person living in 2017, her life would likely follow that of the actress who played her, Tia Mowry. Meaning, she’d be married with one child, an entrepreneur with her own cookbook and cooking show on the Cooking Channel; she’d have bravely opened up about her life with endometriosis, and confidently embraced her grey hairs.

I say this because that’s what Mowry herself would like for Landry to be doing. “I would want her to replicate my life, and what’s going on in it right now,” she told NYLON while celebrating the global launch of Pepsi’s new drink Lemon Lemon. “Just a mom with a family trying to make ends meet and see how that works.”
I say this also because, during Mowry’s run on Sister, Sister from 1994 to 1999, the plotlines on the show paralleled the actual lives of Tia and her identical twin sister, Tamera. “A lot of people might not know this, but every year at the beginning of the season, me and my sister would sit down with the producers and tell them what’s going on with our lives in real life, and they would turn those into stories,” she told NYLON.
Sometimes, when their busy professional lives interfered with normal teenage activities, the Mowry twins got to experience things on set, rather than in reality. Like, when Tia and Tamera couldn't go to prom, they had their own (probably better) version on television; and when they learned to drive for the first time, they were doing it on set. “As a teenager working on a television show, I wasn’t able to experience certain things that a lot of teenagers experienced,” she says—or, at least, not in real life.

That’s not to say, if given the chance, Mowry wouldn't do it all again. She told NYLON that she absolutely would; in fact, she’s hoping that she’ll be able to do just that sooner rather than later. Sister, Sister reboot rumors have been swirling for some time now, and Tia confirms that she wants it to happen, but that the process is taking longer than she’d like. “We’re looking, right now, for a producer and a writer, someone who can kind of be a leader of the pack in regards to running the show,” she says. “I thought people would kind of be jumping on it, but it’s a lot harder than my sister and I thought it would be. Everything in my career has always been a challenge.”
Mowry lists Roseanne, Twin Peaks, and Will and Grace, as just a handful of the shows getting the revival treatment. The demand is there, so is the interest amongst the cast; they’re just looking for the proper support. “It’s not dead in any kind of way,” she says. “We’re moving forward, we’re taking those strides. They’re slow strides, but we’re pushing as hard as we can to make people happy and make our fans happy.”
When that happens, we hope that some of the celebrity guests from the ’90s make it a point to stop by again. Mowry says some of her favorite memories from the show were her times on set with late actress Brittany Murphy, Kobe Bryant before he was Kobe Bryant, Gabrielle Union, Christina Milian, and Taraji P. Henson.
In the interim, Mowry’s hoping to continue seeking out more fun and inspiring ways to get people in the kitchen, but she also plans on taking on more acting roles. “I’m doing drama roles because people know me as a comedic actress, and I want to stretch myself and do roles that people wouldn’t necessarily see me in,” she says. Though a little familiarity doesn’t hurt, either.
Tamera is a cohost on the talk show The Real. And don't forget about Smart Guy: their brother, Tahj, is starring on the Freeform show Baby Daddy, and doing cannonballs with his sister.
