Whitman also shared some throwback cast photos in the post, including a life-imitates-art pic of a pregnant Amber beside Sarah.
"Parenthood," which ran on NBC from 2010-2015, enjoyed an intense cult following despite modest ratings and stuck around for six seasons thanks to an upscale audience profile. The show was nominated for a for favorite network TV drama in 2014.
Both show creator Jason Katims and star Peter Krause told 91影视 in 2015 that they'd be happy to revisit the Bravermans at some point, in something shorter than a regular TV series.

"I think it's nice to leave series alone" after they end, Krause said at the time. "But, on this particular one, I'd be open to getting together with these people and doing something again."
