Norman Lear's One Day at a Time is back with a modern facelift.

The new Netflix reboot follows a recently separated, former military mom (Justina Machado) navigating a new single life while raising her teenage daughter and socially adept tween son, with the “help” of her old school Cuban-born mom (Rita Moreno) and a friends-without-benefits building manager named Schneider.

Check out Mashable's clip (above) of Lear talking about "reimagining" the show.
