Check out all the TV shows we wish would make a comeback:

Broadcasting between 2002-2006, Footballers' Wives followed fictional Premier League football club Earls Park, as well as all of the drama from both the players and their fiery wives! In October 2025, Gary Lucy, who played Kyle Pascoe in the series, said: "We're trying to bring it back but it might be in a slightly different format. I can't say too much about it. But I won't be a footballer in it, I'm too old for that. But in some capacity, yes I'll be in it, definitely."
Bad Girls
Set inside a fictional women's prison, Bad Girls aired on ITV between 1996-2006 and featured some very famous faces, including Claire King and Debra Stephenson.

Who remembers sitting down in front of the TV on a Saturday night, watching on as Davina McCall helped members of the public take on tough and fearful challenges?

Who would have thought that rubbing a 50p coin would be so interesting? We used to love watching the adventures of Harmony as she used up her magic wishes.
Gossip Girl
Although Gossip Girl was given a reboot in 2021 with a brand new cast, it didn't live up to expectations of the original series, which aired between 2007-2012. The original series kick-started the careers of the likes of Leighton Meester, Blake Lively, Ed Westwick, Chace Crawford and Penn Badgley.

The Inbetweeners
Although it's hard to believe, Channel 4 sitcom The Inbetweeners actually last aired way back in 2010! With continuous talk of a reunion over the last decade, we'd love to see the return of Will MacKenzie, Simon Cooper, Neil Sutherland and Jay Cartwright.

Sarah Jessica Parker paid tribute to him on Instagram, writing: “It's been unbearable. Sometimes silence is a statement. Of the gravity. The anguish. The magnitude of the loss of a 30 + year friendship.
A real friendship that allowed for secrets, adventure, a shared professional family, truth, concerts, road trips, meals, late night phone calls, a mutual devotion to parenthood and all the heartaches and joy that accompany, triumphs, disappointments, fear, rage and years spent on sets (most especially Carrie's apartment) and laughing late into the night as both Stanford and Carrie and Willie and SJ.
Willie. I will miss everything about you."
