Previously, <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/tia-mowry-played-both-twins-in-twitches-at-1-point-and-it-took-tamera-mowry-over-a-decade-to-reveal-that.html/”>Tia</a> and Tamera were floating the idea of a <em>Sister, Sister</em> reboot. In 2012, the identical twins revealed they were in talks regarding a “twins in the city” storyline. </p>
<p id=”par-8_69″>By 2018, Harry appeared on Steve, telling talk show host Steve Harvey that “it’s happening.” Sadly, by 2019, the <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/how-tia-mowry-feels-about-sister-sister-and-the-game-reboots-falling-through.html/”>reboot was put on hold</a> due to copyright issues with Tia explaining, “To be honest with you, I hate to pop the balloon. [A revival of] <em>Sister, Sister</em> kind of looks dead right now.” (via <a href=”https://paramount.fandom.com/wiki/Sister,_Sister” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Fandom</a>). For now, fans will have to settle for occasional reunions between Harry and the Mowry sisters.</p>
