Drake Bell and Josh Peck Discuss Possible ‘Drake & Josh’ Reunion

Drake Bell might be making a return to television. He revealed that he and Josh Peck have had discussions about reuniting in roles quite familiar to their fans.

The actor spoke about the potential of a “Drake & Josh” reboot in an interview with The Patriot-News. He mentioned that the two have considered a reboot, but it would lean more towards a buddy comedy rather than the original family ensemble show.

Interestingly, Drake mentioned that he’s uncertain if they would reprise their exact previous roles or if they’d take on new versions of their iconic characters. He also expressed uncertainty about whether Miranda Cosgrove, who played their little sister Megan in the original series, would return.

It’s worth noting that Drake doesn’t have the fondest memories from the original “Drake & Josh” series. He has in-depth stories about the alleged abuse he experienced while coming up through the Nickelodeon system. These stories were shared in his revelations for “Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV.”

Given these experiences, it’s not surprising that Drake might be hesitant to return to a role associated with so much personal trauma. However, the fact that he’s even considering working with Josh Peck again is a significant step. The two haven’t always had the smoothest relationship.

Drake shared that Josh reached out to him personally after seeing the documentary. This communication seems to have brought them closer, possibly even inching towards a reunion—something they haven’t been in years.

Historically, Drake and Josh have had public disagreements, notably when Josh didn’t invite Drake to his wedding. They eventually reconciled at the 2017 VMAs. This newfound closeness marks another evolution in their relationship, a development that will undoubtedly excite their fans.

The anticipated reunion of Drake and Josh has sparked joy and nostalgia among their fanbase, eager to see them back together, potentially creating new memories and reliving old ones.
