Calista Flockhart, who portrayed the eccentric solicitor Ally at the Boston practice Cage and Fish, fronted the programme that gained recognition for its mixture of romance, personal turmoil, and fantastical comedy, including Ally's amusing habit of tumbling when meeting a potential love match. In 2022, there were rumours that ABC was in early development of a revival of Ally McBeal, potentially following a young lawyer who joins the firm, with Calista reprising her role as Ally. Industry figures were excited about the potential comeback with a source revealing: "There has been talk of reviving Ally McBeal for years, as the central premise is so desirable to modern audiences. It's the perfect female-driven character drama, really." They continued: "Frankly, it was always ahead of its time, so execs see a reboot as a total no-brainer. They are desperate for Calista to jump on board but hope the scripts will convince her to sign up." While the programme explored legal cases, it was the characters' romantic entanglements and personal adventures, peppered with quirky and frequently surreal humour, that truly captivated viewers. 'Hilarious' 2020s comedy is an 'instant classic' and streaming for free Channel 4 viewers make same complaint about new thriller In Flight minutes after debut Since its premiere in 1997, the series received critical acclaim in its early seasons, scooping up Golden Globes and Emmy Awards.
