HBO Max is at the Head of the Class with the first trailer for its upcoming reboot of the 1980s ABC sitcom.

The comedy revolves around a group of overachieving high school students who meet their greatest challenge — a teacher (played by One Day at a Time‘s Isabella Gomez) who wants them to focus less on grades and more on experiencing life. As previously announced, original series star Robin Givens will reprise her role as Darlene Merriman, who is now a single mother to one of the students.
