Living Single (2026) brings back one of the most beloved sitcoms of the 1990s, reuniting audiences with Khadijah, Synclaire, Régine, Maxine, and Overton as they navigate friendship, love, and career challenges in a new era. Set three decades after the original series, the revival honors the witty, heartfelt charm of the classic while updating its themes for today’s world.
The story picks up in Brooklyn, where Flavor magazine—once Khadijah’s pride and joy—faces the modern challenges of digital media. Khadijah (Queen Latifah), still as determined and sharp as ever, finds herself balancing nostalgia for print with the reality of podcasts, streaming, and viral content. As she tries to reinvent Flavor for a new generation, she leans on her lifelong friends for laughter, honesty, and the occasional reality check.
Synclaire (Kim Coles) and Overton (John Henton), still happily married, bring warmth and humor as they adapt to life as empty nesters. Their dynamic remains sweetly goofy yet grounded, with Overton’s handyman wisdom now mixing with modern tech blunders. Régine (Kim Fields), ever glamorous and unapologetic, has built a successful career in fashion and social media, but her love life remains as unpredictable as ever—leading to plenty of comedic entanglements.
Maxine Shaw (Erika Alexander), now a high-powered attorney and advocate, hasn’t lost her biting wit. Her clashes with old friends—and younger rivals in the courtroom—add edge to the series. She also faces questions about work-life balance, mentorship, and whether it’s finally time to settle down. Her banter with Kyle Barker (T.C. Carson), if he reappears, promises sparks of both nostalgia and fresh energy.
The revival also introduces a younger generation of characters: interns at Flavor, new neighbors, and the friends’ grown children, all navigating careers, relationships, and identity in today’s fast-paced world. These fresh perspectives allow the series to explore modern themes—social media fame, dating apps, gentrification, and cultural shifts—while keeping the heart of the show rooted in sisterhood and community.

By its conclusion, Living Single (2026) proves that while times change, the bond between friends is timeless. With sharp humor, heartfelt storytelling, and the undeniable chemistry of its original cast, the revival celebrates both nostalgia and progress. It reminds audiences why these characters became cultural icons in the first place, while showing that living single—and living boldly—is just as relevant now as it was thirty years ago.
