Seth Rogen ‘won’t do’ a Freaks and Geeks reboot

Seth Rogen don’t want to spoil a good thing.


The Golden Globe nominee, 40, tells PEOPLE he “won’t do” a revival of his breakout show, freaks and geekswhich ran for one season on NBC from 1999 to 2000.


“I don’t think anyone would,” admits Rogen as he prepares to treat guests to a Airbnb collaboration inspired by his cannabis homeware brand house plant. “It’s so rare that you do something in your career that is actually just considered good.”


“I know enough now to not f— with it, to just make it good and not try to go see it again,” he adds. “And just let it exist.”

Created by Paul Feig and produced by Judd Apatow, freaks and geeks followed teenager Lindsay Weir (Linda Caredelini) as she struggles to adapt to burnouts (Rogen, James Franco, Jason Segel and Phillips busy) at his high school in 1980 in Detroit.


Meanwhile, his nerdy younger brother Sam (John Francis Daley) adjusts to his freshman year with his outcast friends (Martin Star and Sam Levine).


Rogen played the role of Ken Miller in the short-lived series, which helped launch his career and has since become a cult hit over the years.




The actor has also noticed a resurgence of his hit 2007 teen comedy super badwhich he co-wrote with his film partner and co-founder of Houseplant Evan Goldberg. He recently bonded over the film with his 20-year-old The Fabelmans costar Gabriel LaBelle.


“What’s crazy is that Gabe LaBelle is 19 and his and his friends’ favorite movie is super bad“, Rogen raves. “So that never changed for some reason. No one has made a good high school movie since then.”


The Hilarity for charity co-founder also says he’s “so happy” for Fabelmans director Steven Spielberg and costar michelle williams for their recent Oscar nominationswhich he says are “all very well deserved”.

Rogen’s Airbnb is inspired by his Houseplant headquarters, which he took a ride at archdigest.com last April. Perched in the hills of Los Angeles with sweeping views of the city, the mid-century oasis is furnished with ceramic pieces created by Rogen.


Although cannabis is not provided with the experience and smoking is prohibited inside the house, Rogen will stop by to share some pottery pointers and vibes with Houseplant. Strain-specific LPs.
