Sister, Sister cast ages: How old was the cast then (and now)?

Sister, Sister is arguably one of the best Black sitcoms from the ’90s. Now that it’s streaming on Netflix, it’s attracted an entirely new generation of fans, and just like old fans, they’re hoping the show gets a reboot.

A reboot seemed possible at one time, but sadly, the plans for a follow-up series fell through. Back in 2021, Sister, Sister actress Tia Mowry revealed in an interview with People Magazine that she, her sister/fellow Sister, Sister co-star Tamera Mowry-Housley, and the people they were working with at the time, had planned out a reboot series, but legalities got in the way and shut everything down. But this doesn’t mean the talented identical twin sister duo has given up. They still hope that one day a Sister, Sister reboot will happen. Unfortunately, that time just isn’t now.

Sister, Sister follows two teens who find out they’re identical twin sisters who were separated at birth. Besides Tia and Tamera, the cast was made up of many other talented actors, such as Jackée Harry, Tim Reid, Marques Houston, RonReaco Lee, and Deon Richmond.

Since it’s been 29 years since the show’s premiere, you might be wondering where the cast is now. Tia, Tamera, and Marques were just teens when the show premiered. How old are they now in 2023? What about the other cast members? Here’s what we know.
