Just a week before April Fools’ Day, the internet has fallen for a viral hoax. Over the weekend, a poster for a supposed Disney+ reboot of The Golden Girls has appeared out of thin air—with no announcement, casting news, or first look images in sight—and been making the rounds on Facebook, X (formerly known as Twitter), Reddit, and more. Featuring an A-List cast of comedy legends dolled up in their finest gray curls, all that the internet wanted to know was: Is this real?
No, neither the poster nor the reboot is real; although, if you fell for it, you’re certainly not alone. The poster—which features Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Maya Rudolph, and Lisa Kudrow, two of whom seem to be edited to look older, with the others appearing as they are now—was shared around X this weekend.
“I don’t want this!!” reads a post featuring the image that now has more than four million views. While many people echoed this sentiment in the replies, other social media users have questioned if people who fell for this fake news should be allowed to vote.
