Nikki DeLoach is really ‘trying’ for an ‘Awkward’ reboot with OG cast: ‘We are not giving up’

“Awkward” really make a comeback?Well, according to Nikki DeLoach — who played Jenna Hamilton’s cool mom Lacey — there is a universe where another blown-way-out-of-proportion misunderstanding graces our screens.“Girl, I am trying!” she exclusively told The Post at the Alzheimer’s Association’s Dance Party to End ALZ red carpet on Sunday. “We’ve tried.

We’re trying, we are not giving up.” Ashley Williams, who cohosted the event with DeLoach, 45, teased, “It’s called ‘Still Awkward.’”“Yeah, actually!” DeLoach exclaimed. “Actually!

That was what we pitched. ‘Still Awkward.’ That’s what we pitched. It’s called ‘Still Awkward: Ten Years Later.’”And yes, the original cast, including Ashley Rickards, Beau Mirchoff, Molly Tarlov, Jillian Rose Reed, Brett Davern, Desi Lydic, and Mike Faiola, would all be on board.“Yes,” DeLoach, who starred in the MTV series for all five seasons from 2011 to 2016, confirmed. “I know they would.”Getting the gang back together isn’t the only project DeLoach is busy working on.

The “Curious Caterer Mysteries” actress teamed up with Williams, 45, to put on the Dance Party to End ALZ in Hollywood over the weekend.
