Parenthood’s Miles Heizer Is Open to a Parenthood Reunion
Miles Heizer will never forget his Braverman family.
“Parenthood is the place that I met my true, lifelong, closest best friends,” Heizer, 31, exclusively shared with Us Weekly while attending the 14th Annual Queerties Awards on Tuesday, March 10. “Mae Whitman and Lauren Graham, who played our little family unit, are still very close. I see Mae constantly. I lived with Mae. It’s, like, such a formative experience for me and just by far the most valuable thing that ever happened in my life.”
For six seasons, Heizer played Drew Holt on NBC’s beloved TV series Parenthood. Every week, viewers followed the Braverman clan, which consisted of a couple, their four children and their extended families.
Although Heizer has moved on to other projects, including a role in the Netflix series Boots — which won Best TV Comedy at the Queerties Awards — the actor wouldn’t say no to a potential Parenthood reunion in the future.
Once a family, always a family. Lauren Graham, Mae Whitman and more of the Parenthood cast have kept a close bond since the beloved series came to an end. Loosely based on Ron Howard‘s 1989 movie of the same name, the NBC drama ran for six seasons from 2010 to 2015. Graham starred as wayward […]
“I’m truly, like, I want the Parenthood reunion. I’ll say it. I want the reboot,” he told Us at The Avalon Hollywood. “I’m pushing it. I’ll try to start it, but I haven’t heard anything.”
Back in 2023, creator Jason Katims admitted that he’s been thinking about ways to bring the Braverman family back together.
“It’s interesting, I think it’s getting to be like enough time has passed where you can really look at the next generation,” he told E! News at the time. “I’m so curious to see where Max [played by Max Burkholder] is and Amber [Whitman] and so many of these people, like Drew [Heizer].”
Sam Jaeger, who played Joel Graham on the fan-favorite series, previously expressed his interest in a reunion. The only caveat to his potential involvement? The script would have to be perfect.
“I want to protect what’s there,” he told People in April 2025 of the series. “But at the same time, parenting has changed so much since we finished that show. And so I think it’d be interesting to revisit that aspect of it.”
Despite being one of the leads on NBC’s Parenthood, Dax Shepard made a surprising revelation about his six-season run on the NBC drama. “I know I was making among the lowest of all the actors,” Shepard, 50, revealed on the Monday, March 10 episode of his “Armchair Expert” podcast. He made the salary revelation while […]
For now, Heizer is enjoying the unofficial title of uncle to Whitman’s real-life son.
In August 2024, Whitman — who played Drew’s sister, Amber Holt, on Parenthood — announced the arrival of her first child named Miles.
“I was very shocked and honored and scared and overwhelmed,” Heizer said in reaction to the name. “It’s truly the kindest thing anyone could ever do, and I have fear that I don’t deserve it, but I’m so flattered.”
