Is Remaking a New Thing?

When you reboot a film, part of the goal is to not just kind of remake one film to a new one, but rather initiate a whole new series or franchise. It's a little different with television, I think, because they aren't necessarily all going to the beginnings of these characters' lives or story worlds. Like Full House and Fuller House. And I think in the case of like something like Fuller House, that's kind of a sequel, because the characters are there that have been there all the time. So no, actually remakes are as old, literally asOld as film. People constantly were remaking similar premises and stories from the very birth of cinema.
