Hulu's meta-comedy "Reboot" premiered on September 20 and has completed its first season.

But the show has one major advantage, and that's its creator. Steve Levitan was a member of the creative team behind the hit "Modern Family," which ran for 11 seasons on ABC. As it stands, Levitan will have plenty of material if the show is renewed for another year. "We'd just sit around and talk, and then someone would say, 'Oh, this reminds me of something that happened,'" he told Variety in a September 2022 interview. "Then [the writers] refined it in the next week's script."
The showrunner also told Entertainment Weekly how his experience on "The Reboot" will inspire the second season. "I think in season two we'll get into the premiere of the show and everything that goes with it," he said. "As someone who just experienced a premiere, it was something new for me to delve into what it's like to launch a show that the world can comment on in this day and age."
