The landmark sketch comedy series “In Living Color” — which became famous in the early 1990s thanks to characters like clumsy Fire Marshal Bill and the dour Homey D. Clown — has been revived nearly two decades after it last aired, the Fox network announced Friday.

An updated version of the program will air as “two half-hour specials in the spring of 2012,” the network said in a statement. The exact dates of these shows have not been released.

Keenen Ivory Wayans, the original series’ creator and executive producer of the coming edition, will host the new episodes. Except for him, these shows will feature a new cast of “fresh, young talent,” according to Fox.
