She confirmed, "It's not happening." When asked about her thoughts on the two decades that have passed since the show ended, she humorously commented, "My back and knees remind me, but I'm thankful to still be here."
Sister, Sister ran for six seasons from 1994 to 1999 and followed Tamera Mowry-Housley and her real-life twin sister, Tia Mowry, as they discover they are twins separated at birth. The show depicted the humorous challenges they faced as they adjusted to their new family life with their adoptive parents, portrayed by Tim Reid and Jackée Harry. Let's not forget about their neighbor Roger, played by Marques Houston, who hilariously had a crush on both twins.
