The nostalgia for 90s kids TV shows no signs of slowing down, with a Drake & Josh reunion now being engineered.

Drake Bell is set to guest star in an upcoming episode of Grandfathered, according to Entertainment Tonight, where he’ll join his former Nickelodeon co-star Josh Peck.

In a soon-to-air episode, ‘Bell will play Kirk, a flashy tech investor whom Gerald (Peck) and Vanessa (Christina Milian) are desperate to meet up with to pitch their new app. But once Gerald and Vanessa come face-to-face with the loaded entrepreneur, they’re not sure he’s the best man to do business with.’

Peck previously professed a desire to re-team with Bell.

“I feel like our next guest star has got to be Drake Bell,” he told ETonline.

“I’ll just text him and be like, ‘Just keep the next six months open for me, will ya?’ I mean, I would love it and if he was available and into it, nothing would make me happier.”

Another beloved duo, Kenan and Kel, are also thought to be working on some kind of new content following the success of their reunion sketch on Jimmy Fallon, while Nickelodeon has launched a new channel called The Splat dedicated to old school shows.
