In an awesome interview with Variety, Alex Wolff, who starred in Nickelodeon's popular noughties musical comedy series alongside his brother Nat, revealed that he's hoping for a Naked Brothers Band reunion - and the siblings have even talked about the reunion's storyline!
“We did talk about Alex, who [was] a lemon-lime [soda] addict, is probably a drug addict,” Wolff told Variety, before admitting that probably wouldn’t fly with Nickelodeon.
Talking about the series, Alex revealed that “I have not outgrown it.”

Update (4/9) - From NME:
Born in New York to a creative family – his mum works in the industry, his dad as a jazz pianist – Alex began acting at the age of 6 when his mum produced The Naked Brothers Band: The Movie for Nickelodeon. The subsequent TV series continued to team Alex with his older brother Nat – and after three years and 43 episodes, the two siblings formed a pop-rock duo called (originally) Nat & Alex Wolff. Their debut album didn’t quite fly off the shelves, and Alex focused his career on movie roles instead. He might have worked hard from an early age, but really, Alex says, they were just messing about.
“I remember on my first day,” he says. “Me and my brother were in this bunk bed, right before we shot the first scene [of The Naked Brothers Band] and I was egging him on: ‘You don’t have the guts to kick me’. And right as they rolled the camera, he kicked me in the face and I started sobbing. That was day one of shooting. So from there on it was a very interesting dynamic.”

Created by Nat and Alex's real life mom, Polly Draper, The Naked Brothers Band followed the daily lives of Draper's sons, who lead a faux world-renowned rock band in New York City. As a mockumentary, the storyline is an embellished parody of their real lives, and the fictional presence of a camera is often acknowledged.
The show stars Nat Wolff and Alex Wolff, the lead singer-songwriter, and drummer, respectively. Nat's fictional female interest (portrayed by Allie DiMeco) and real life friends Thomas Batuello, David Levi, and Cooper Pillot, as well as Qaasim Middleton—who has no prior acquaintance with the family—feature as the other band members, with Draper's jazz musician husband Michael Wolff as his sons' widowed accordion-playing dad, and her niece Jesse Draper portraying the group's babysitter.
Guest stars included Miranda Cosgrove (iCarly), Victoria Justice (Victorious), Leon Thomas III (Victorious), Snoop Dogg (Sanjay and Craig, Game Shakers), George Lopez (Lopez Tonight), Tony Hawk (Rocket Power), Phil Collins, Natasha Bedingfield and Whoopi Goldberg.
Following the show's premiere, the band's song "Crazy Car" was placed on the Billboard Hot 100 charts, and the first and second season soundtrack albums were on the top 200 Billboard charts.
The show's theme song is "If That's Not Love" by Nat Wolff.
The Naked Brothers Band aired for 37 (+5 specials) between February 3, 2007 – June 13, 2009.
The series is a spinoff of Draper's film of the same name that was picked up by Nickelodeon, premiering in January 2007. Draper, known for her starring role in Thirtysomething, is the executive producer, and often writer and director. Albie Hecht, Nickelodeon's former president of film and television entertainment and former president of Spike TV, is also the executive producer, under his Worldwide Biggies label. Michael Wolff, who led the band on The Arsenio Hall Show, serves as co-executive producer and music supervisor, with Draper's brother, Tim, as the consulting producer.
