Actor Dave Annable said he wants to create a holiday special to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the series *Brothers & Sisters* [1].
The proposal suggests a potential revival or limited return for the ensemble cast, catering to a long-term fanbase of the family drama. Such a project would mark a significant milestone for the show's legacy and its former stars.
Annable shared these thoughts during a premiere event in Los Angeles for the third season of *Lioness* [1]. The series is scheduled to premiere on Paramount+ on Aug. 5 [2].
Speaking about the passage of time, Annable said he is in shock that the show is turning 20 [1]. He noted his fond memories of working with co-star Matthew Rhys and emphasized the impact the series had on its viewers [1], [3].
The actor said a festive episode would be an ideal way to honor the show's history. While Annable and Rhys have previously discussed the possibility of bringing the characters back for a holiday-themed event, a formal production timeline has not been established [3], [4].
Annable's comments come as he promotes his current work in *Lioness*, which returns to screens this week [2]. The actor's interest in revisiting *Brothers & Sisters* highlights a continuing trend of legacy television properties returning for anniversary celebrations or limited specials.
“Annable said he is in shock that the show is turning 20”
The push for a *Brothers & Sisters* special reflects a broader industry trend where streaming platforms and networks leverage nostalgia to drive viewership. By timing these comments with the premiere of a new project, Annable maintains visibility while signaling to the studio and fans that there is still commercial and emotional appetite for the original series' intellectual property.
