Disney+ Live-Action Gargoyles Reboot No Longer Moving Forward
A planned live-action Gargoyles series for Disney+ has reportedly been shelved, ending years of development on the reimagined adaptation.
A planned live-action reboot of the animated series Gargoyles for Disney+ has been shelved, according to a report from The Main Street Mouse. The project, which had been in various stages of development at the streamer, will not move forward, ending speculation that the 1990s gothic animated favourite was on track for a new live-action incarnation.
Background of the Project
The live-action adaptation was first discussed publicly several years ago, with fans closely tracking any updates from Disney and its streaming division. Gargoyles, which originally aired in 1994, follows a clan of nocturnal stone creatures who protect modern-day New York City. The series developed a dedicated following and has long been the subject of revival rumours.
What the Report Says
According to the source, development on the Disney+ version has ceased entirely. No cast, showrunner, or release window had been publicly attached to the live-action project in recent memory, and the report does not indicate whether the property could resurface in another format, such as animation, elsewhere on the platform.
What This Means for Fans
For now, the original Gargoyles series remains the definitive screen version of the property, with no successor on Disney+:
- No live-action adaptation will be produced for the streamer at this time.
- Disney has not confirmed any alternative plans for the Gargoyles brand.
- Fans seeking related coverage can revisit past reporting on Disney's streaming strategy and other reboots in development.
