Overview
- Disney+ is developing a new TV version of Animorphs, with the project in early development at the streamer.
- Bayan Wolcott will write and executive produce the adaptation, joining executive producers Ryan Coogler, Zinzi Coogler, and Sev Ohanian through Proximity Media.
- Scholastic executives Iole Lucchese and Caitlin Friedman are executive producers, 20th Television is the studio, and Proximity’s Simone Harris and Dezi Gallegos are overseeing.
- An official logline says the series follows teens who discover a hidden threat in their everyday lives, reflecting the books where kids morph into animals to fight alien parasites called Yeerks.
- Proximity holds a TV overall deal with Disney that also includes Coogler’s X-Files pilot, as Disney+ continues to mine known YA brands such as Percy Jackson and a planned Eragon series.
