Cole Sprouse reveals him and his brother Dylan will not participate in a Suite Life of Zack and Cody reboot: 'No, absolutely not'
With TV shows and movies being rebooted constantly these days, many wonder what the next reboot will be, but, according to Cole Sprouse, it won't be Suite Life of Zack and Cody.
The 28-year-old Riverdale star and his twin brother Dylan have been acting since they were six months old, playing Patrick Kelly on Grace Under Fire for five years before playing Adam Sandler's adoptive son in 1999's Big Daddy.
Perhaps his most well-known role was Cody Martin in Disney Channel's The Suite Life of Zack and Cody, starring alongside future stars such as Ashley Tisdale and Brenda Song, though Sprouse revealed on The Drew Barrymore Show that he does not want a reboot.

Barrymore started asking Sprouse his take on a number of hot topics in pop culture, including the new Sex and the City remake, when he offered his take on reboots.
'Reboots are a tricky thing, you know?' he said, before offering his theory on why they could ruin the original program.

'The original shows when they become successful sit in this little golden plate of nostalgia and when you modernize it and go back to it, it has the potential to really disenfranchise the original fanbase so it’s a very, very touchy thing,' he explained.

Sprouse added, 'I am asked all the time if Dylan and I are going to do a Suite Life reboot and I go, "No, absolutely not."'
Barrymore joked that she was now going to, 'skip' her next question, with Sprouse not bringing up the show again.
The original program followed the Sprouse twins, who live at the Tipton Hotel with their mother (Kim Rhodes), a lounge singer at the hotel.
