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

Footballers' Wives

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.

Benidorm

Airing for a huge 10 series between 2007 and 2018, ITV/STV sitcom Benidorm was a huge hit with fans. Ever since the show ended, fans have been begging creator Derren Litten to create more, with rumours rife in April 2025 that bosses are considering maybe bringing the show back.

Fat Friends

Written by Kay Mellor, sitcom Fat Friends aired between 2000-2005, following a group of friends who attend a slimming club together, with a focus on the various ways their weight has impacted upon them. Over the four series, huge stars appeared including Ruth Jones, James Corden, Lisa Riley, Alison Steadman, Jason Merrells and Lydna Barron.

The Bill

First broadcast in 1983, police drama The Bill certainly proved popular, airing until 2010. The show focused on the lives and work of police officers and starred well-known actors such as Trudie Goodwin, Graham Cole and Mark Wingett.

ER

Running between 1994-2009, medical drama ER starred actors such as George Clooney, Julianna Margulies and Noah Wyle, along with Parminder Nagra, Linda Cardellini and Angela Bassett. ER was set in a Chicago hospital called Cook County General Hospital, in particular their Emergency Department, following the personal and professional lives of the staff and patients.

Starring Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry, and David Schwimmer, Friends was given a reunion special in 2021, with all six members re-living the best moments from the show.

Don't Try This At Home

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?

Sabrina the Teenage Witch

She was confident, funny, magical AND she had a talking cat. Sabrina made us all want to be a witch! The show was also rebooted between 2018 and 2020 as a Netflix series called Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.

Ugly Betty

Ugly Betty first landed here in the UK in January 2007, going on to have four hugely successful series. The show, which featured actress America Ferrera, followed a character called Betty Suarez, who despite her lack of 'style', landed a job at a very prestigious fashion magazine.

Where The Heart Is

The British drama, which was filmed in the Yorkshire town of Skelthwaite, proved very popular with viewers between 1997-2006, showcasing the lives of a group of district nurses and their families. Where The Heart is had a stellar cast, including Lesley Dunlop, Christian Cooke and Sarah Lancashire.

Stars In Their Eyes

A true classic! Stars In Their Eyes, originally hosted by Leslie Crowther, first aired in 1990 with Matthew Kelly taking over in 1993. The show did make a return with Harry Hill in 2015, but it didn't quite take off!

The Queen's Nose

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.

Lost

Despite its marmite ending, Lost was one of the biggest TV shows around when it aired between 2004-2010. The hit series follows the survivors of a fictional crash of airline Oceanic Flight 815, as they are stranded on a tropical island and forced to work together in order to survive.

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.

The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air

We'd love to see Will Smith get back into his character alongside Carlton Banks, however we got the next best thing in 2022, with the Fresh Prince reboot called Bel Air, where Jabari Banks played Will Smith.

My Name Is Earl

With a total of 96 episodes, American sitcom My Name Is Earl was loved by fans. Featuring Jason Lee as the main character, small-time crook Earl Hickey, the show follows him as his life changes after he wins $100,000 on a scratch-off lottery ticket.
