Get ready to watch (and definitely hear) Fran Drescher exclaim those three special words: "Oh Mr. Sheffield!" Although we have to wait until May for the Friends reunion special to air, the original cast of The Nanny is getting back together next week for a special project.

The Nanny cast will be *virtually* reuniting on the video-conference platform Zoom for a table read of the show's pilot episode. While we sadly won't be able to join the conference call, we will be able to watch the whole thing. This super-rare Zoom session will then be posted to Sony Pictures YouTube page the morning of Monday, April 6, 2020. The virtual reunion will feature Fran Drescher, Charles Shaughnessy , Daniel Davis, Lauren Lane, Nicholle Tom , Benjamin Salisbury, Madeline Zima, Renee Taylor, Alex Sternin, Ann Hampton Callaway, DeeDee Rescher, Rachel Chagall, and Jonathan Penner, according to Variety.

Earlier this month, Drescher had hinted at a "surprise" from the cast after a fan had tagged her in a tweet asking that the series be moved to a streaming platform. While there's no word on that (ahem, Netflix), we'll definitely make sure to cherish every moment of this The Nanny virtual session.

“Laughter is the best medicine! So, in these challenging times, Petah (the show's co-creator) and I thought, wouldn’t it be great if we pulled together the original cast of ‘The Nanny’ for a virtual read of the pilot" Fran Drescher in a statement. "It’s a once in a lifetime Pandemic Performance for our fans around the world who are currently stressing in isolation and could use a real upper!"
