 Not a "reboot", but a new show with new characters set in the same place. Potentially it could be a semi-sequel if any of the original characters sign-up to appear.

 Well, let's muse about that for a second...:
 Teri Hatcher is still around, is available, and might actually be game for it. But she was very unpopular on the set of the original series (the others considered her a "mean girl"). Because this is from different people than the original series, Hatcher might still get the "ask".
 Eva Longoria may very well consider herself "too big" for this show now.
 Felicity Huffman would probably be up for it, but she's still got the whole "university bribery scandal/jail time" to live down, so she might not even get asked.
 AFAICT, Marcia Cross has retired from the biz. (Didn't someone around here say that she survived cancer?...)
 I have no idea what is going on with Nicollette Sheridan these days - she's certainly not getting hired anywhere that I can see.

 I need to amend this - I forgot that Sheridan showed up on a recent Hallmark flick (2023) with Linda Gray, Donna Mills and some other actresses from the 1980s. So she is still around.

According to the Wikipedia page (so may or may not be actually true) ...
    "Sheridan said in her own statement that she was leaving to
     spend more time with her terminally ill mother in Los Angeles.
     She last appeared in the episode "Motherly Overprotectiveness".
     On 3 October 2023, it was announced that Sheridan would
     feature in the Lifetime film, 'Ladies of the '80s: A Divas
     Christmas'."
Of course she did also have problems on the set of the new 'Dynasty' series, and left / was fired from the show.
