James played Richie Crawford for eight seasons on the beloved sitcom and told Entertainment Weekly that he wants to "take the show and turn it into an animated series." His vision includes modernizing classic episodes and reintroducing the Winslow family for a new generation.

Family Matters, the hit TV show not the hit diss record, may soon follow in the footsteps of Good Times with an animated revival. Actor Bryton James, who fans remember as Richie Crawford from the original run, revealed in a recent conversation with Entertainment Weekly that the project is already in motion and “pretty far along.”

Family Matters alum Bryton James has shared plans for an animated reboot with all original cast members to return.
