You can stream Punky Brewster (2021) on Peacock with a subscription.

Punky is now a single mother of three trying to get her life back on track when she meets Izzy, a young girl in the foster system who reminds Punky a lot of her younger self.

This reboot trades childhood nostalgia for a grounded look at the chaotic realities of single motherhood and the foster care system. Seeing a grown-up Punky navigate these messy life hurdles provides a surprisingly heartfelt connection to her spunky roots.
