Norman Lear's One Day at a Time is the latest in a show to score a modern-day reboot.

The Norman Lear-created family sitcom, which originally aired from 1975-84, is being revived by Netflix, Mashable has confirmed.

The reboot, which Lear has teased as early as August of last year, scored a 13 episode order, and -- as previously indicated by the legendary producer -- will, this time, center on a Cuban-American family.

Characters include a newly single military mom, her "radical" teenage daughter, her "socially adept" tween son and her Cuban-born mother. And yes, there will be a Schneider, a role originally played by actor Pat Harrington, who died just last week.

The original show starred Mackenzie Phillips, Valerie Bertinelli and Bonnie Franklin.

"I want her to have a mother so there are three generations of Latina women, and I just loved the idea because I don’t see enough of that representation on the air anyplace," Lear told reporters at the Television Critics Association summer press tour last year. "And I don’t mean to say it doesn’t exist. I said I don’t see it anyplace. Maybe it does. But there isn’t enough of it, and I think it’s a rich idea, so I'm excited."

Mike Royce (Men of a Certain Age) and Gloria Calderon Kellett (How I Met Your Mother) are set to act as executive producers, as will Lear.

Netflix's order of the multi-cam sitcom comes just one month before it's set to revive Full House with a spin-off starring the two oldest daughters, played by Candace Cameron Bure and Jodie Sweetin, and neighbor Kimmy, played by Andrea Barber.
