Disney Nixes 'Blossom' Revival, Retains Rights

Mayim Bialik says Disney is keeping the rights to the series to prevent the proposed revival from being pitched elsewhere.

Overview

  • After developing a new script and re-pitching the show, Bialik and creator Don Reo were initially encouraged before executive turnover altered the project’s trajectory.
  • According to Bialik’s Substack, new decision-makers at Disney declined to move forward with the reboot.
  • Bialik says she and Reo asked to purchase the rights to shop the project to other studios, but Disney refused and is reserving the property.
  • Coverage differs on whether Disney has officially confirmed the cancellation, with at least one outlet reporting no comment from the company.
  • Bialik writes that the experience has dampened her interest in on-camera work, noting the broader industry churn that also stalled earlier 2023 revival talk after the strikes.
