Overview
- Favreau confirmed the project at D23 on Saturday, Aug. 15, 2026, saying Oswald will be a three‑part miniseries on Disney+ slated for February 2027.
- The show will place a traditional hand‑drawn Oswald into real, live‑action settings with SPA Studios and veteran 2D animators handling the animation and John Debney composing the score.
- A principal live‑action cast has been announced that includes Kathryn Hahn, Steve Martin, Amy Sedaris, Ravi Cabot‑Conyers, Mykal‑Michelle Harris, Ryder Allen and Al Madrigal.
- First‑look footage shown at D23 places animated Oswald in recognizably historic Disney locations such as Walt Disney’s Burbank office and scenes filmed at Disneyland, and the production filmed on location last year.
- Some outlets report a family‑friendly storyline in which Oswald enters the real world and meets middle‑schoolers and a Feb. 17 premiere date, but those specific plot beats and the exact release day have not been fully confirmed by Disney.
