In 2003, comedian [[Daniele Luttazzi]] published the screenplay ''Tabu'', an almost verbatim parody of the film. In the variation, the engaged lovers are aged 40 (him) and 12 (her), and are brother and sister.<ref>{{cite book |last=Luttazzi |first=Daniele |author-link=Daniele Luttazzi |year=2003 |title=La castrazione e altri metodi infallibili per prevenire l'acne |language=it |location=Milan |publisher=[[Feltrinelli (publisher)|Feltrinelli]] |pages=155–233 |isbn=978-8-807-84029-6}}</ref>

Episodes of ''[[The Golden Girls]]'' and ''[[The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air]]'' featured plots similar to the film.

The 2005 film ''[[Guess Who (film)|Guess Who]]'' starring [[Ashton Kutcher]] and [[Bernie Mac]] is a loose remake, styled as a comedy rather than a drama, with the racial roles reversed: Black parents are caught off-guard when their daughter brings home the young white man she has chosen to marry. Talking about the film, Bernie Mac told ''[[USA Today]]'' in 2003: "Interracial dating is not that significant any more." Mac said of the script: "They want to make it a comedy, but I won't disrespect Spencer, Katharine or Sidney."<ref>{{cite news |last=Thomas |first=Karen |title=Bernie will be Spencer in new 'Coming to Dinner' |newspaper=[[USA Today]] |year=2003 |issn=0734-7456}}</ref>

A British radio play titled ''That Summer of '67'', written by actress [[Tracy-Ann Oberman]] and based on the story of the film's production, was broadcast on [[BBC Radio 4]] on 31 December 2020.

A 2011 episode of the American sitcom ''[[Last Man Standing (American TV series)|Last Man Standing]]'' features a similar theme, although the couple is lesbian instead of mixed-race.
