“The Jetsons” is zooming to ABC.

A live-action TV reboot from Robert Zemeckis of the 1960s Hanna-Barbera animated series has landed a put-pilot order at the network.

The new version of “The Jetsons” will be a half-hour multi-camera comedy set 100 years in the future, featuring a modern spin on the storytelling.

Gary Janetti (“Family Guy”) will write the project, which Warner Bros. Television is producing with Nickleby, Inc. and Compari Entertainment.

Janetti is an executive producer, along with “Back to the Future” director Zemeckis and Jack Rapke. Jackie Levine is a co-executive producer.

The classic series centered on married couple George and Jane Jetson, their kids Judy and Elroy, dog Astro and robot maid Rosie.
