Most of the Arnold family reunited for Fanboy Expo in Knoxville, Tennessee, and original The Wonder Years star Danica McKellar was there to capture it on her Instagram. The original series was created by Carol Black and Neal Marlens chronicling the life of Kevin Arnold (Fred Savage) as he reflects on his life growing up in the late 1960s and early '70s. Daniel Stern was the narrator of the ABC dramedy as adult Kevin reflecting on his life but didn't appear on screen. The series ran for six seasons from 1988-1993, and the 2021 legacy spinoff of the same name lasted until 2023, which focuses on the Williams family in the same era and another state but shares the same universe as the original series with Dean Williams as the focus with Elisha "EJ" Williams as the younger version and Don Cheadle as his older counterpart as the narrator.

Fanboy Expo took place the weekend of July 12-14. "I mean, c'mon…! 😭 So great to be with my Wonder Years family this weekend! Sure, we've all seen each other through the years (just saw Dan & Josh last month, in fact!), but we realized this particular grouping hadn't been together in well over 20 years…! 😳… We'll be doing a Wonder Years panel together tomorrow (Saturday) at 4:45 pm at @fanboy_expo if you want to come by! And of course autographs & photos all weekend! 🥰🥰🥰" McKeller wrote on Instagram. Both original and spinoff series are available to stream on Hulu.
