Overview
- Creator Greg Weisman confirmed late August 2026 that the planned live-action Gargoyles series developed by James Wan’s Atomic Monster is no longer moving forward at Disney+.
- Writer and showrunner Gary Dauberman had been attached to write and lead the project, but the effort produced little visible progress after its 2023 announcement.
- The cancellation follows other recent Disney+ cutbacks on original live-action projects, including reported stops to Power Rangers and Wonder Man Season 2.
- Actor Brent Spiner has said he was told an animated Gargoyles project is in development, but Disney and Weisman have not publicly confirmed any animated revival.
- Gargoyles remains a 1990s cult favorite with ongoing comic revivals, and observers say animation — not live action — is now viewed as the likeliest route for the property to return.
