“I’m very excited to be working with ABC,” Bloodworth-Thomason told The Hollywood Reporter. “And Sony has always been a great partner for Designing Women. Normally, I’m not a fan of reboots but Designing Women does seem to have the right feng shui for all that is going on right now. We could definitely have some fun.”
