Reboot is a canceled sitcom focused on a fictitious reboot of another canceled sitcom called Step Right Up which features the original cast reprising their roles some 20 years after its cancellation. The show stars Reed Sterling (Keegan Michael Key), Clay Barber (Johnny Knoxville), Bree Marie Jenson (Judy Greer), and former child star of the original sitcom Zack Jackson (Calum Worthy). Along with the former stars of the show, Reboot also follows the new and returning writers of the original sitcom, Hannah (Rachel Bloom), and her father and former show-runner, Gordon (Paul Reiser). The show unfolds with clashes between the writing staff and the actors, with Reed dealing with his long-distance relationship and lingering feelings from his old co-star Bree, Clay tackling his sobriety and trying to be a better person, and Zack trying to grow out of his child star reputation while maintaining the happy go lucky attitude that he has used his whole life. Conflict erupts between all areas of the staff as they try to reboot this canceled show resulting in a new studio head coming in in the final episode and Gordon being forced to quit as the writer to keep the reboot from being canceled again.
