Get ready, 90s kids—Steve Urkel is back, and the Winslow family is reuniting for a brand-new chapter in the beloved sitcom Family Matters! This heartfelt revival brings a fresh yet familiar energy to the iconic show, premiering September 2025 with 10 new episodes, exclusively streaming on Hulu via ABC.

A Chicago Legacy Lives On

FAMILY MATTERS - JALEEL WHITE; REGINALD VELJOHNSON

Decades after the original series concluded, the new Family Matters picks up with Carl and Harriette Winslow still at the heart of a bustling Chicago household. Carl, now enjoying retirement from the force, finds himself back in the middle of family drama, while Harriette remains the steadfast anchor of the family.

But the biggest surprise? Steve Urkel and Laura Winslow are now married—and raising a son of their own! Their child is just as quirky, clever, and scientifically curious as Steve was back in the day (yes, there are already rumors of a time machine in the garage).

 Eddie’s Rise, and a Bittersweet Absence

Meanwhile, Eddie Winslow has followed in his father’s footsteps, earning his place as a respected police captain in Chicago. With a strong moral compass and a knack for community leadership, Eddie’s storyline promises to add depth and timely themes to the reboot.

However, not all familiar faces will return. The absence of the family’s beloved matriarch, Estelle “Mother” Winslow, is felt throughout the series. Her legacy is honored with love, laughter, and heartfelt moments that pay tribute to her role in shaping the Winslow clan.

 Classic Chaos with a Modern Twist

FAMILY MATTERS - "The Show Must Go On" - Airdate: October 4, 1991

While the new Family Matters embraces today’s world—with smartphones, smart homes, and evolving family dynamics—it doesn’t abandon what made the original show timeless: comedy, love, and unforgettable chaos.

Expect accidental explosions in the kitchen, unexpected visitors from Steve’s wild experiments, heartfelt lessons about family, and yes—Steve’s signature catchphrase:

“Did I do that?”

 Meet the New Urkel Generation

Jaleel White attends the Star Wars: Skeleton Crew launch event at Disneyland on December 02, 2024 in Anaheim, California.

The reboot introduces viewers to Steve and Laura’s son, a whirlwind mix of genius and awkward charm. He’s a digital-age inventor, mixing robotics with fashion disasters, and he quickly becomes the heart of the next generation of Winslows. His relationships with cousins, neighbors, and yes, the local bully, promise new layers of comedy and connection.

In a world that moves fast and often forgets its roots, Family Matters returns to remind us why family always comes first. With themes of loyalty, laughter, second chances, and generational wisdom, this show is more than a reboot—it’s a love letter to fans who grew up with the Winslows and a welcoming door for new viewers.
