TLDR: There is no Golden Girls reboot in production, and the "news" about it came from a Facebook page that specializes in satirical movie posts.

So I've just now heard about an alleged reboot of The Golden Girls coming to Disney+, starring Lisa Kudrow, Tina Fey, Amy Poehler and Maya Rudolph. I did some fact-checking, including looking at the place where the claims originated, and this news is 100% false.

There is no reboot or revival of The Golden Girls in the works. There's no evidence of the alleged revival on Disney's roster, and a reverse Google Image of the poster that was "released" doesn't go to any official sources. Moreover, the claim of a reboot originated from a Facebook page called YODA BBY ABY, which explicitly describes its posts as satirical. YODA BBY ABY is well-known because the post about fake media news, and they frequently "cover" films and television shows that aren't real and aren't going to happen.

While I'm positive that we'd all benefit from a revival of The Golden Girls, we need to make sure that we're getting our news from accurate, reputable sources before we go posting about it on the site. Nobody's in trouble, nobody's going to be penalized for posting about it. I just wanted to clear the air about the "reboot" and try and spread the truth before people got too excited about it.

Most importantly, do not go after the person who posted the fake news. They have warnings all over their page that they post about satire, and they've already received a bunch of death threats from ill-informed Facebook users. This post is not intended to incite a firestorm on them. Just ignore the post and leave the user alone.

Since I can't seem to reach any active admins on this site, I was thinking I would reach out to Fandom and try to adopt the wiki. I've been a huge fan of the series since 2020, and if the work I've already done on this site isn't proof enough of my expertise, I have admin experience on two other smaller wikis (Crypt TV Wiki and The Enemy Wiki, if anyone wants to check those out).

I adore the love and dedication that has gone into this site, but there's some things about it that need to be taken care of, like fixing the night mode, protecting high traffic pages, and removing unnecessary pages.

For those who might worry, I wouldn't strip the original admins of their power. I'd give them the roles back if the request goes through. But I haven't been able to reach the current onsite admins about anything, and there's just too much to be done on here for me to wait another few months to hear back from them. Does anyone have any thoughts or objections?

So because of the sheer number of mentioned characters in Rose's St. Olaf stories alone, I started a list of unseen Golden Girls and Golden Palace characters.

The format for filling out the list is provided in the page overview, and there's three pages splitting up the alphabets so the pages don't get too long...well, longer than they're gonna be already. St. Olafians already have their own separate list, so they don't need to have a lot of info on this one. Just a link to the St. Olafian residents page is good enough.

I'm also putting together a Google Doc to pile all these characters up, and I also have a somewhat-finished document of episode citations that I'm working on if anyone wants access to those to help out!
