Overview
- Variety reported that Disney+ will not proceed with the planned TV adaptation of Louis Sachar’s Holes after producing a pilot.
- The reimagined pilot centered on a teenage girl named Hayley at Camp Yucca, with Shay Rudolph starring and Greg Kinnear and Aidy Bryant in key roles.
- Alina Mankin wrote the pilot, Liz Phang served as showrunner, and Jac Schaeffer directed, with executive producers including Drew Goddard; Walden Media and 20th Television were involved.
- No public explanation was provided for the decision, and Deadline indicated the project did not meet internal expectations.
- Reports suggest the pilot will remain unaired and is not being shopped elsewhere, as the cancellation is framed within a broader wave of selective pullbacks across streaming, including recent Disney projects.
