Prompt Fran Drescher’s distinctive laugh because our long personal nightmare is at last finished.
The Nanny, the beloved CBS ’90s sitcom, is at long last coming to a streaming platform. The whole six-season series will hit HBO Max on April 1 bringing our favorite fashionista from Flushing, Queens, once again into our homes.
The show, which has beforehand just been available in partnership or on home video, stars Drescher as the nominal babysitter. Drescher plays Fran Fine, a cosmetics saleswoman, who turns up on the doorstep of British Broadway maker Maxwell Sheffield (Charles Shaughnessy) subsequent to being dumped and fired by her bridal-shop-owner boyfriend. Maxwell, an affluent single man, hires her to be the nanny to his three kids: Maggie, Brighton, and Grace. Furthermore, Fran’s unusual methods and lust for life end up being exactly what this lamenting family (and Max himself) need.
The series, which was co-created by Drescher and her then-husband Peter Marc Jacobson, had a cult following while on the air (and procured one Emmy grant over its six seasons), yet it exploded in ubiquity through syndication. To such an extent that a melodic is underway from Drescher and Crazy Ex-Girlfriend co-maker Rachel Bloom.
The cast reunited a year ago for a virtual table read, and Drescher addressed EW about the arrangement’s suffering appeal. “I’m constantly experiencing how current it remains, particularly with the millennials,” she said. “I’m fluid on social media and I’m very aware of the Fran and The Nanny accounts. We’re doing The Nanny musical on Broadway, it was an amazing thing and it’s the gift that keeps on giving.”
