Revival
In 2019, Disney Television Animation announced that they are producing a revival season of the show that will air on both Disney Channel and Disney+ at the same time, premiering on February 12th, 2021. The series doesn't count with Doug TenNapel's involvement due to his controversial political views as well as his involvement with Comicgate and attacks towards the LGBTQ+ community, with Disney selecting Doug Lawrence as the revival's showrunner. Disney justified the decision with the fact he could bring a toxic atmosphere within the crew, especially due to the Donald Trump administration and its latter transition to the Joe Biden administration, and create episodes that target the LGBTQ+ continuity, especially when Disney is currently airing shows that embrace it. Lawrence commented that it's unlikely for the revival to handle LGBTQ+ themes, especially since it's a comedic work and doesn't get political or ethical.

Disney's decision to air the series simultaneously on its flagship cable channel and its streaming service is especially to not deprive cable viewers from missing a show that marked a generation, aside from being the first Disney Television Animation production specifically made for Disney Channel rather than a broadcast network or syndication. Despite airing first on Disney+, the revival is still labeled as a Disney Channel original.

The voice cast for the series returned to reprise their respective roles, save for Ripper, due to Mako Iwamatsu's passing in 2006, Hootre, due to Tim Curry suffering a stroke that limited his capacities, and Yonk, due to René Auberjonois' passing in 2019, being recasted with Greg Baldwin, Mark Hamill and Jeff Bennett, respectively.
