In a modern-day I Love Lucy adaptation, Lucy Ricardo is reimagined as a spirited, social media-savvy aspiring content creator with big dreams of fame, played by comedic actress Awkwafina. Her husband, Ricky, now a charismatic Latin pop star played by Pedro Pascal, is constantly working to keep his music career afloat while managing Lucy’s wild schemes. Lucy’s antics often involve her attempting to break into influencer circles or launching viral video stunts that hilariously backfire, much to the frustration of Ricky, who must balance his support for her dreams with the reality of her well-meaning but chaotic plans.

Their neighbors and best friends, Ethel and Fred Mertz, are now a quirky millennial couple, portrayed by Melissa McCarthy and Seth Rogen. Ethel is Lucy’s loyal yet skeptical partner-in-crime who is often dragged into her social media stunts, while Fred, a retired tech investor with a dry sense of humor, frequently finds himself exasperated by their antics. Together, they navigate a world of influencers, pop culture, and the absurdity of modern fame, bringing Lucy’s classic humor into the digital age while highlighting the timeless love and friendship at the core of their relationships.

r21 the frightening thing is that could actually get made in today's Hollywood.

OP, Gary talked her out of it.

R22 Makes you wonder is ChatGPT going to be used in the brainstorming session. To the point you decipher the prompts and keep moving with the plot as they do each episode. Never tried it, but I bet it could make a whole series of plots for tv show.

In the new millennium, Ricky has been outed as yet another famous Hollywood #MeToo serial sex pest. Every time Lucy was paranoid about hot actresses and sexy Tropicana showgirls catching Ricky's eye (and unwanted advances), she was right to be concerned.

Lucy has divorced Ricky and, thanks to California's community property laws, she's taken half of Ricky's assets including a 50% ownership stake in The Tropicana. Inspired by Angelina Jolie's indignant stance with Brad Pitt and her years-long refusal to sell their French vineyard, Lucy is holding her Tropicana stake over Ricky's head and making it difficult for him to so much as buy a pair of castanets without her signoff.

The "I Love Lucy" for the modern era is a syndicated daytime talk show, where Lucy hosts expert self-help guests. She has reinvented herself as a 21st century redheaded Oprah clone. Among her show's first guests: Esther Perel, who talks with Lucy and her audience about how to grieve the relationship you lost to betrayal; and shame researcher Brene Brown, who reminds Lucy and her viewers that to be vulnerable is to be courageous.

Lucy plays coy at first but finally agrees to meet in person for $100 but only if it is with all the lights out in the empty apartment 3-G the Mertz's have been unsuccessfully trying to let out and that they also not speak during the meeting as she has a cold. Prince "Amir" agrees and assures her there will be no need for words and he is "fluent in language of love."

Lucy gets Ethel to hide in the closet to ensure her safety and instructs her that if she stomps her foot two times then everything's o.k., but if she stomps her foot three times Ethyl is to barge out of the closet blowing a whistle and banging a pot.

"Over here, lover boy!"
