It's been 18 years since "The Nanny" ended in 1999, but the star of the show Fran Drescher told  Closer Weekly that she would consider doing a reboot. 

“As far as a reboot goes, I would be open to it if somebody wanted to do it,” Fran says, “But if nobody wants to do it, then I’m currently trying to develop something else.”

The actress shared that the remake of the series would be pretty easy because she is still in touch with her former cast mates. “I am in touch definitely,” explained the actress. “Renee Taylor (Sylvia Fine) is a good friend of mine, Charlie [Shaughnessy] (Maxwell Sheffield) is a good friend of mine. Recently I reconnected with Nicholle Tom (Maggie Sheffield), and periodically I speak to everyone, but I’m very good friends with Charlie and Renee, for sure.”
