Drake Bell could return to television … because he says he and Josh Peck have discussed working together again in some familiar roles.
The actor discussed the possibility of a reboot of “Drake & Josh” in an interview with The Patriot News … and said the two had discussed a reboot – although it would be more of a buddy comedy than the original family ensemble program.
In fact, Drake says he’s not even sure if they’ll be playing the exact same characters or if they’ll be playing new versions of Drake and Josh… adding that he’s not even sure if Miranda Cosgrove – who played her little sister Megan in the original series – would return.
Of course, Drake doesn’t have the best memories of working on the original “D&J”… go into depth about the alleged abuse he faced during his rise through the Niceklodeon system in “Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV.”

So it wouldn’t be a surprise if he doesn’t want to return to the role that comes with all that trauma. Still, even working with Peck is a big step forward, as the two haven’t always had the best relationship.
Bell revealed Peck stretched out his hand to him personally after seeing the document … and it sounds like the two are getting closer to working together again – honestly, they haven’t been this close in years
Drake and Josh have publicly feuded in the past after Josh didn’t invite Drake to his wedding and buried the hatchet at the 2017 VMAs.
However, this closeness represents another development in their relationship… and one that is sure to have fans hugging each other.
