Drake Bell may return to television… because he says he and Jos Peck have discussed working together again in a few well-known roles.
The actor discussed the possibility of a “Drake & Josh” reboot in an interview with The Patriot News …saying the two have talked about rebooting – although it would be more of a buddy comedy than the original family ensemble show.
In fact, Drake says he’s not even sure if they’d be playing the exact same characters or if they’d be playing new versions of Drake and Josh… and he’s not even sure if Miranda Cosgrove – who played their little sister Megan on the OG show – 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 when he came up through the Niceclodeon system in “Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV.”

So it wouldn’t be a shock if he has no intention of returning to the part related to all that trauma. That said, even working with Peck is a huge step forward, as the two haven’t always had the best relationship.
Bell revealed Peck at the time handed it to him in person after seeing the doctor… and it sounds like the two are getting closer to working together again – honestly, the closest they’ve been in years
Drake and Josh do argued publicly in the past after Josh didn’t invite Drake to his wedding and ultimately buried the hatchet at the 2017 VMAs.
However, this level of connection is a new evolution in their relationship… and one that is sure to have fans hugging each other.
