Netflix is already working on an animated revival of the beloved show, which also includes a book series.

Fans are pushing for Ross to play the interesting, fun, lively Ms. Frizzle, who drives the school bus from reality to science dreamland.

On Twitter, Josh Gwynn suggested the idea, and several users retweeted it in support. Fans responded with fan art, reactions and their preference for Duvernay and Rae’s involvement.
