America Ferrera Says Ugly Betty Cast Would Be Down for a Reboot
The actress behind the iconic character of Betty, America Ferrera, has expressed her enthusiasm for a potential Ugly Betty reboot. Ferrera, known for her role as Betty Suarez, revealed that she would be more than happy to reprise her beloved character. In a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight, Ferrera shared her thoughts on the possibility of a reunion with the rest of the Ugly Betty cast.
Ferrera said, I think there has been like a deep desire there for a long time because our Ugly Betty family is so close, and so we love each other so much. I think we’d all come back in a heartbeat. You know, I don’t know! It takes a lot of work to get a thing off the ground. Maybe we’ll figure it out.
The actress fondly expressed her love for Betty Suarez, stating, Betty is my heart, I would be thrilled [to play her again]. Ferrera’s positive response indicates that the cast shares a strong bond and would be open to the idea of reuniting for a reboot.
Last week, executive producer Salma Hayek took to social media to thank fans for their continued support of the show. She also praised America Ferrera’s talents, acknowledging that the success of Ugly Betty wouldn’t have been possible without the exceptional cast.
However, Vanessa Williams, who played the iconic character of Wilhelmina Slater, previously mentioned that a reboot might face obstacles due to the uncertain ownership of the show’s rights following the tragic passing of creator Silvio Horta in 2020.
In 2021, America Ferrera, Michael Urie, and Vanessa Williams shared a heartwarming reunion photo on Instagram. The picture featured Betty and Marc and Wilhelmina enjoying a delightful dinner together, reminding fans of the memorable dynamics between the characters.
Ugly Betty, a groundbreaking series during its original run, still resonates with a new generation of viewers. Its themes of self-acceptance and determination have remained relevant throughout the years, contributing to its enduring popularity.
While the feasibility of a reboot is yet to be determined, America Ferrera’s eagerness, coupled with the continued adoration from fans, suggests that the prospect of returning to the world of Ugly Betty holds immense potential. Despite the challenges involved in reviving the series, the cast’s unwavering love for each other and their characters serves as a testament to the lasting impact of the show.
As fans eagerly await further updates, the possibility of an Ugly Betty reboot continues to spark excitement and reignite fond memories of the beloved series.
