Zach Braff is joining the Cheaper By the Dozen Reboot for Disney+. The news comes after some other big pieces are already locked down. Kenya Barris is co-writing the script and producing. Gabrielle Union is co-starring with Braff according to The Hollywood Reporter. Gail Lerner is directing the project as well, and has an existing relationship with Barris based on their experience with Black-ish. This time, the story will focus on a multiracial family, but still have the blending elements that recent viewers fell in love with during the previous remake efforts. 2022 is still set as the calendar date for the project. With all the swapping around in the entertainment landscape, no one can be certain. But, Disney has remained resolute that these Disney+ shows will remain on schedule due to tight filming protocols and the fact that they can be beamed into homes via the streaming platform.
