In a moment that has 90s and 2000s kids beaming with excitement, Josh Peck recently reunited with one of his "Drake & Josh" co-stars, bringing major nostalgia to fans of the beloved Nickelodeon show.
The popular Nickelodeon sitcom aired from 2004 to 2007 and starred Drake Bell, Josh Peck, and Miranda Cosgrove. The show followed the adventures of two stepbrothers with clashing personalities and their new living arrangements.
Drake Parker, played by Bell, was the cool, laid-back musician who often got into trouble, while Josh Nichols, played by Peck, was the awkward, responsible one who tried to stay out of trouble but often found himself caught up in Drake's schemes. Their younger sister Megan, played by Miranda Cosgrove, added to the chaos as the mischievous mastermind, always pranking her older brothers.
20 years after the show premiered on Nickelodeon, Josh Peck has reunited with one of his costars, and it’s bringing all the feels.
