The highly anticipated reboot of “The Golden Girls” is in the works, with casting underway for the iconic roles.
While Rose, Blanche, and Sophia have found their counterparts in Bette Midler, Jane Fonda, and Kevin Sorbo (playing Sophia in a non-binary role), the pivotal role of Dorothy remains vacant.
Casting director Joe Barron is determined not to succumb to what he perceives as “woke culture” and insists on choosing the perfect actor for the role based on talent rather than name recognition alone.
Barron explicitly stated his refusal to consider Whoopi Goldberg, citing her alleged toxicity on set.
The character of Dorothy is known for her brazen and sometimes unlikeable demeanor, but her relatability is crucial for the success of the show.
As the search continues, Barron is exploring options that include Roseanne Barr or Patricia Heaton for the role.
Despite efforts to balance wokeness concerns, the casting has already seen a mix of established names with Bette Midler and Jane Fonda taking on key roles.
To introduce political diversity, Kevin Sorbo has been cast as a non-binary Sophia.
Barron has expressed a desire to add a conservative element to the cast, with hopes that Judge Jeanine Pirro might consider the role.
The casting decisions for “The Golden Girls” reboot are becoming a focal point in the broader conversation about wokeness in the entertainment industry.
As the team navigates these challenges, audiences eagerly anticipate the final cast and the return of the beloved characters to the small screen.
In the spirit of a successful reboot, may God bless America.
