A Gargoyles reboot is officially on the way. Months after a report suggested Kenneth Branagh could be helming a live-action reboot of the cult classic animated series, a new trade report says a live-action series is, in fact, in development at Disney+. While it doesn't appear that Branagh is working on it, the series has a pair of monstrous names attached. Gary Dauberman has been hired to write, showrun, and executive produce the series alongside James Wan and his Atomic Monster banner.

Conceptually it looks like the right people have been hired. I do hope we can get our original voice actors back, specifically Keith David. I'd love to see Frakes and other humans, but if this is a full reboot you'll probably need to recast (but a cameo or different character for sure.)

My concern would be Disney not giving this show time to grow. While a darker "kids" show, I expect the primary audience to be much older. We don't need to be R rated, but they should lean into that darker tone. I also wouldn't expect this show to be a big hit, this'll be a slow roll. They've given shows like Andor that freedom, but as a "new" IP Disney may be more reserved.

One thing I've learned is the mouse can fucking hire. They just have way too much say on the creation of their properties.

They can lean, but if they jump headfirst into it, it's just going to be another shitty grimdark edgelord wankfest. Have a bit of dark, but don't take yourself too seriously. Lean into the fantasy element, have fun with it. Don't make another "Depression: The TV Show"
