The Wonder Years torch has officially been passed.

ABC last year announced plans for a reboot of the beloved dramedy, which aired from 1988 to 1993. On Monday, original series star Fred Savage virtually broke the news to actor Elisha E.J. Williams that hed landed the lead role of 12-year-old Dean, who comes of age in the late 1960s.

Williams, whose credits include Nickelodeons Danger Force and Henry Danger , captured the moment with a short video posted to his Instagram.

Super excited to be apart of such an iconic show, he wrote in the accompanying caption. I want everyone out there to DARE2DREAM.
