ABC's reboot of The Wonder Years has found its lead.
Elisha Ej Williams has been announced will play the character at the wheel of the story.
The news was announced by Fred Savage, the lead of the original 1988-93 TV series.
The series will focus on a Black middle-class family in Montgomery, Alabama.
"Though a little insecure, a tad awkward, and a bit self-conscious, he is determined to make his mark on the world around him,” the character description reads.
In The Dark actress, Saycon Sengbloh was cast as Dean's mother, Lillian, earlier this month.
Lillian is described as a “confident, kind, perceptive” mother, wife, and full-time accountant.
Intelligent and hard-working, Lillian “knows exactly the right thing to say to convince you of anything,” but she will always go out of her way to put her family first.
Savage will also exec-produce along with Empire's Lee Daniels and Saladin K. Patterson.
