Raviv Ullman, best known for his role in the Disney Channel series “Phil of the Future,” has expressed enthusiasm about the possibility of reviving the show that aired between 2004 and 2006. Speaking with PEOPLE at the premiere of the film “Drag” during the South by Southwest (SXSW) festival, Ullman shared his fondness for the series and his former co-stars, suggesting he would readily embrace the opportunity to return if the chance arose.

Reflecting on the show’s impact, Ullman stated, “I do not have the answer. If they came calling, I would of course say yes.” He elaborated on the lasting relationships he shares with cast members, mentioning he maintains regular contact with Aly Michalka, Amy Bruckner, and others from their time on the series. “I have a lot of love for the Phil of the Future crew and cast. I’m a big fan of what we did,” he added.
“Phil of the Future” follows Phil Diffy, played by Ullman, along with his family who come from a futuristic world. After their time machine malfunctions, they find themselves living in the year 2004, leading to humorous and heartfelt situations. The show concluded on an unresolved note, keeping fans curious about the characters’ fates long after its cancellation.
Ullman, now 40, expressed pride in the show, appreciating that it has remained relevant and is still discussed years after its finale. “If there was ever a time to revisit it, of course, but we’re so proud of the show that we made, and that people are still talking about it today, it’s a gift,” he remarked.
In addition to highlighting his nostalgia for the series, Ullman also revealed his admiration for Michalka and her sister AJ Michalka, who perform as a musical duo. He commented on attending their concerts whenever possible, indicating a close friendship that has endured beyond their days on the show.
Speculation about possible romantic feelings during their time filming has occasionally surfaced, but Michalka recently clarified that while she had a crush on Ullman during auditions, they remained friends. “I remember during the chemistry test, when I tested for Phil of the Future, and I saw he was the other boy that was up for it, I was like, ‘He’s really cute,'” she confessed during an interview on “Call Her Daddy.” However, the age difference at the time made any romantic developments seem less likely. “That age range felt huge. I was 13, and I think he was 16…which is huge at that point,” she reflected.
The camaraderie among the cast has fostered a lasting bond, contributing to the nostalgia surrounding “Phil of the Future.” Fans have continued to express their affection for the show, and Ullman’s openness to a potential revival speaks to the evolving landscape of television, where reboots and sequels of beloved series have become increasingly common.
Currently, “Phil of the Future” is available for streaming on Disney+, allowing a new generation of viewers to enjoy the adventures of Phil and his family. As discussions of reboots circulate, Ullman’s statements may resonate with fans eager to see a fresh take on this pioneering series.
In conclusion, it’s clear that the connection between Ullman and his co-stars remains strong, with shared memories from their formative years in television. Whether or not “Phil of the Future” will make a comeback remains uncertain, but Ullman’s willingness to entertain the idea leaves fans hopeful for a trip back to the future.
