Wiki.
Return of the Beverly Hillbillies is a 1981 American made-for-television comedy film based on the 1962β1971 sitcom The Beverly Hillbillies which reunited original cast members Buddy Ebsen, Donna Douglas and Nancy Kulp reprising their characters of Jed Clampett, Elly May Clampett and Jane Hathaway, along with newcomers Werner Klemperer as C.D. Medford, Ray Young as Jethro Bodine and Imogene Coca as Granny's 100-year-old mother; original cast members Irene Ryan (Granny) and Raymond Bailey (Milburn Drysdale) had died in 1973 and 1980 respectively, and Max Baer Jr. (the original Jethro) declined to participate.
The film was produced and written by original series creator Paul Henning and was intended as a pilot for a proposed revival of the series, but this never materialized. Return of the Beverly Hillbillies premiered as The CBS Tuesday Night Movie on October 6, 1981.
