(CNN) "Punky Brewster" could be the latest sitcom hoping for a comeback.

Universal Content Productions is in development on a sequel to the 1980s sitcom that starred Soleil Moon Frye as a young girl in foster care.

Frye is attached to reprise her role for the show should it make a return to television.

She is also set to executive produce alongside show creator David Ducion. The series would be written by Steve and Jim Armogida ("School of Rock").

"Punky Brewster" originally aired on NBC from 1984-1986, but no network is currently attached to the project.
