Long before Tobey Maguire's Peter Parker was bitten by a radioactive spider, junior high school student Alexandra Mack was nearly hit by a truck and drenched in an experimental chemical called GC-161 that gave her superpowers—and The Secret World of Alex Mack was born.
The Nickelodeon hit, starring Larisa Oleynik in the title role, aired for four seasons from 1994 to 1998. And now, it's been revealed that the cast is reuniting for their first convention at 90s Con in Hartford, Connecticut, in October.
Oleynik will be joined at the annual star-studded convention by Meredith Bishop (who played Alex's older sister Annie), Darris Love (who played Ray, Alex's best friend and next-door neighbor) and Natanya Ross (who was Robyn, one of Alex and Ray's neighborhood pals).

"To get to reunite and reminisce with the cast of Alex Mack is such a gift," Oleynik, 44, told PEOPLE, who first reported the news. "We hope the fans are as excited to share with us as we are with them! I'm very much looking forward to celebrating my favorite decade with some of my favorite people."
“After more than 30 years, to get to go back with my sacred 90s TV family and run it back one more time means more than I can even put into words," Ross, 44, says. "We are so excited to not only be at 90s Con together this October, but also to all be together as a family again. It's so incredibly special, and to do it at the literal Best 90s pop culture show out there, we are beside ourselves. Years in the making, baby!”
Oleynik recently made her Nickelodeon homecoming in the sitcom Erin & Arron, this time playing the mom.
