Get ready to say "Whoa!" all over again as we explore where the stars of the groundbreaking NBC series are today.

Blossom Cast: Full Biography and Profile

The core ensemble of Blossom created a memorable family unit that navigated serious teenage issues with humor and heart. Here is a look at the main cast and the characters they brought to life.

  • Mayim Bialik (Blossom Russo): Born December 12, 1975, in San Diego, California. Bialik began her career as a child actress, most notably in the film Beaches before landing the title role in Blossom. She is famously one of the few actors to take a break from Hollywood to earn a Ph.D. in Neuroscience from UCLA in 2007. Her career resurgence came with her Emmy-nominated role as Amy Farrah Fowler on The Big Bang Theory.
  • Joey Lawrence (Joseph "Joey" Russo): Born April 20, 1976, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Joey began acting at a young age and became a massive teen idol during the Blossom run, known for his signature catchphrase "Whoa!" and his pop music career. After Blossom, he starred in Brotherly Love (with his real-life brothers) and later the ABC Family sitcom Melissa & Joey.
  • Michael Stoyanov (Anthony "Tony" Russo): Born December 14, 1966, in Chicago, Illinois. Stoyanov played the oldest brother, a recovering drug addict who later became a paramedic. He also worked as a writer for late-night programs, including Late Night with Conan O'Brien, after the sitcom ended.
  • Jenna von Oÿ (Six LeMeure): Born May 2, 1977, in Danbury, Connecticut. Von Oÿ played Blossom's fast-talking, best friend, Six. After Blossom, she starred as Stevie Van Lowe on the UPN/CW sitcom The Parkers. She stepped away from full-time acting to focus on her family and a new career path.
  • Ted Wass (Nick Russo): Born October 27, 1952, in Lakewood, Ohio. Wass played the single father, a jazz musician. Before Blossom, he was known for his role as Danny Dallas on the sitcom Soap. After Blossom, he retired from acting entirely to become a highly successful television director.

Mayim Bialik and Joey Lawrence: New Projects and the Revival’s Final Word

The two biggest stars of the series, Mayim Bialik and Joey Lawrence, have remained highly visible in Hollywood, with both securing major new projects extending into 2025. Their careers, however, took very different but equally successful paths, and both were at the center of the long-running revival rumors.

The Canceled Blossom Revival: What Happened?

For years, a potential Blossom revival, or a "reboot," was one of the most anticipated '90s nostalgia projects. Mayim Bialik had confirmed that the entire original cast and creative team were on board and a pilot script had even been completed.

The definitive, most recent update is disappointing for fans: the revival is officially canceled. Bialik herself revealed in a devastating update that Disney ultimately scrapped the plans. She noted that the new version was envisioned as a more dramatic, darker take on the characters, which may have been a factor in the network's decision to pass on the project.

Mayim Bialik’s Post-Jeopardy Career

Since stepping away from her role as a host on Jeopardy!, Bialik has focused heavily on her production company and her popular podcast, Mayim Bialik's Breakdown. The podcast, which explores mental health and wellness, continues to release new episodes throughout late 2025, featuring deep dives into complex societal issues and interviews with experts.

In terms of acting, Bialik is slated to appear in the 2025 blockbuster movie Like Father Like Son, playing the role of Anabelle Weiss. Her production work keeps her busy, but the canceled Blossom revival marks a closed chapter for the character that made her a star.

Joey Lawrence’s 2025 Christmas Movie

Joey Lawrence, known for his signature "Whoa!," continues his work in family-friendly television and movies. He is set to star in a new romantic Christmas movie for UPtv's 2025 festive programming slate, alongside actress Amanda Fuller. This new project solidifies his status as a perennial favorite in the holiday film genre, a common career path for '90s sitcom stars.

Beyond his acting, Lawrence is also a podcaster, co-hosting the Brotherly Love Podcast with his actual brothers, Matthew and Andrew. The podcast features discussions on their careers, family life, and even a recent reunion with former co-star Michael Stoyanov.

From Teen Idols to Authors and Producers: The Rest of the Russo Family

While Mayim and Joey have remained in the spotlight, the other key members of the Blossom cast have made significant career shifts, with some finding new success behind the camera or as published authors.

Jenna von Oÿ (Six LeMeure): A New Life as an Author

Jenna von Oÿ, whose character Six was famous for her rapid-fire dialogue, largely stepped away from full-time acting after her run on The Parkers to focus on motherhood. Her new career is as a successful author and speaker.

Von Oÿ has published two successful non-fiction books, Situation Momedy: A First-Time Mom's Guide to Laughing Your Way Through Pregnancy & Year One and Situation Momedy: A Very Special Episode in Toddlerdom. She is currently working on two more books, including a fictional book for young adults, showcasing a creative pivot from acting to writing.

Michael Stoyanov (Anthony "Tony" Russo): Back to Production

Michael Stoyanov, who played the troubled but lovable older brother Tony, spent many years focusing on writing for television, including a stint on Late Night with Conan O'Brien. In a significant 2025 update, Stoyanov is credited as a producer on a project currently in production, indicating a major role behind the scenes. This move back into production work highlights his versatility in the industry, moving between acting, writing, and producing.

He has also been active in recent years with guest appearances and a memorable reunion with his former castmates on Mayim Bialik's canceled sitcom, Call Me Kat, where the Russo brothers and Six all appeared.

Ted Wass (Nick Russo): The Director’s Chair

Ted Wass, who played the single dad Nick, completely retired from acting after Blossom ended to focus exclusively on directing. He has since become a highly prolific and successful television director, known for helming episodes of major sitcoms.

While his most recent directing credits are from a few years ago (including episodes of Mom and The Big Bang Theory), his most recent on-screen appearance was a surprise: he stepped back in front of the camera for a guest-starring role as "Harley" in an episode of Call Me Kat, reuniting him with his on-screen children. Wass’s career is a testament to a successful transition from leading man to a respected, steady hand behind the camera.

The Everlasting Legacy of Blossom

The enduring popularity of Blossom is a testament to its willingness to tackle serious issues like drug abuse, teen sexuality, and divorce, all while maintaining a signature lighthearted tone. Though the official revival is now off the table, the cast has repeatedly reunited, most notably in a full-cast appearance on Call Me Kat and through various podcast appearances and social media posts.

The show's topical authority paved the way for future teen-centric sitcoms, and its cast has used their platform to pursue diverse careers—from neuroscience and mental health advocacy to holiday movie stardom and successful authorship. The Russo family may not be back on our screens in a new series, but their individual careers are thriving in surprising new ways in late 2025.
