Actress Erika Alexander Hints to a Possible ‘Living Single’ Reboot

Posted byBy Shamone Nelson | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Don’t call it a comeback, but “Living Single” may be making a return television. Actress Erika Alexander gave her fans a pretty big tease about a possible reboot.

Alexander, whose role was Maxine attorney-at-law on the hit show, posted a video on Instagram hinting at a return of the show. In the video she said, “Anybody know how to reboot this?,” as she winks and points to a computer in front of her. Her caption said, “Anyone need a REBOOT?!? ; ) #maxineshaweffect #reboot #livingsingle#nowarranty.”

Fans quickly caught on.

“I’ve always dreamt of being on an episode of living single. You guys are so amazing. I really hope for this reboot 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽”

“Still my absolute fav!! And Max is my fav character!! Y’all need to come on & don’t play with us & do only 1 season either…we need more”

“Do it!! Please do it!!! And where are auditions for the silhouette dancers in the background lmbo! 🤣 Seriously”

Fans were stunned by Alexander’s tease because earlier this year she stated that she did not want any part of a “Living Single” reboot. “I think it’s great people are nostalgic for things in the past, maybe for good reason. It happens,” she said on “The Breakfast Club” back in March. But she continued and said, “But for me, I always tried to be honest and said that if my film and television career had been a lot better, I might not have any problem dipping my toe back into that water and going and doing the Max character.” Then she said, “But for me … time is so finite. You have so little time. I think I just want to see if I can do other things. And see if I can get people as happy for me or into a different character in a different way.” Fans are crossing their fingers.

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
