Disney+ is rebooting 80’s classic “Doogie Howser”

Disney+ is rebooting “Doogie Howser, M.D.”  This one won’t star Neil Patrick Harris, who’s 46 now.  Instead, it’ll feature a teenage girl as the young genius doctor.

The working title is “Doogie Kealoha, M.D.” and the lead will be a half-Asian, half-white 16-year-old girl, who breezed through college and medical school and is now working in Hawaii.  There’s no timetable for the series yet.
