"Ugly Betty ” fans, rejoice! America Ferrera  is down for a revival. 

During a reunion with the cast of the ABC show at the ATX Television Festival on Saturday night, Ferrera jokingly pitched a revival to Hulu , saying the online service was "going to pick us up for a two-hour special." 

She continued, “That’s not true, but if you tweet it…everybody here take out your phone. Hashtag: Betty Reboot. We need a hashtag and tweet it out and then we’re going to get Hulu to buy a two-hour special."

Considering how many shows have been given a second chance thanks to streaming services like Hulu and Netflix -- "The Mindy Project," "Gilmore Girls," "Arrested Development" -- a reunion for "Ugly Betty" doesn't seem out of the question. 

Other cast members, such as Michael Urie, Eric Mabius, Ana Ortiz, Vanessa Williams, Rebecca Romijn, Ashley Jensen and Judith Light, seemed supportive of the idea of a reboot, as did showrunner Silvio Horta. 

"Here’s the only thing I know for sure — if we were to do something, it would be a dream, but everybody on this stage would have to be involved. And Becki Newton," Horta said. "There's a lot more stories to tell." 

Your move, Hulu.
