Christina Applegate Still Plans To Voice Kelly Bundy In ‘Married With Children’ Animated Series

Dead to Me star Christina Applegate said she still plans to voice Kelly Bundy in the animated revival of Married… with Children that is still in the planning stages.

It had been rumored for years that a revival of the hit sitcom was on the way, but that was only confirmed last year.

Alex Carter (Family Guy) is reportedly on board to write and serve as showrunner for the series, however, it has not been determined which network or streaming service it will be produced for.

In a recent interview with Vanity Fair, Applegate addressed how she has stepped away from on-screen acting due to her multiple sclerosis diagnosis. The final season of Dead to Me will serve as her final live-action performance. The popular actress isn’t retiring, however, as she clarifies that she still plans on doing voiceover work, as that’s much less taxing on the body.

“I can’t even imagine going to set right now. This is a progressive disease. I don’t know if I’m going to get worse,” she said. “I can do voiceover stuff because I have to support my family and keep my brain working.”

Applegate then said she can’t say anything too specific about the MWC reboot, but confirmed that she’s on board along with her old co-stars, presumably Ed O’Neill, Katey Sagal, and David Faustino.

“I can’t really say much, but all I know is that all four of us are attached to it,” she stated. “It’s not in our hands now, so we’re just kind of waiting.”

Married… with Children was created by Michael G. Moye and Ron Leavitt. Originally airing for eleven seasons between 1987 and 1997, it followed the lives of the Bundy family and their neighbor Marcy (Amanda Bearse).

In 2014, Faustino had attempted to make a spinoff series centering on an older Bud Bundy, but the project never came to be. In 2017, Applegate teased that they were still trying to get the spinoff off the ground, however, nothing ever came of that.

Classic episodes of Married… with Children can be found streaming on the free streaming platform Pluto TV. They are also available to stream on Hulu and Peacock.
