'In Living Color' returning next year - Comedy show "In Living Color" is returning to Fox next year. The series, which ran from 1990 to 1994, is being reprised in the form of two half-hour specials, to air in spring 2012. Keenen Ivory Wayans, who co-created and produced the original series, has signed on to host and executive-produce.The network said that the specials will bring "a modern-day take on the hit sketch comedy show that will feature a new cast of fresh, young talent, as well as musical performances by special guests."
Known for bringing a cutting, urban twist to the sketch-comedy genre, "In Living Color" launched the careers of Jim Carrey and Jamie Foxx, among others. No word on whether Carrey or Foxx will participate in the revamped version -- or whether Jennifer Lopez will be back to reclaim her role in the Fly Girls dance troupe.
Deadline first reported the news.
