Revival (television)
In television, a revival is a television series that returns to produce new episodes after being off the air for a certain amount of time, particularly due to cancellation. Definition Network executives may decide to attempt to revive a television program when they feel that a market once again exists for it. It is one of several programming strategies television networks employ to capitalize further on successful programs; among the other methods are spin-offs, reboots, remakes, cast reunions, television movies and sequels.
