Overview
- Disney+ officially ordered a pilot for Spaceship Earth and attached a high-profile creative team led by Jason Fuchs as showrunner with Michael Waldron as an executive producer.
- The pilot’s logline describes a time-travel sci-fi premise in which teenagers from Earth’s past and future must band together after a mission to stop a global cataclysm goes wrong.
- 20th Television will produce the pilot, Lee Toland Krieger is set to direct, casting is underway, and no production schedule or premiere date has been announced.
- The streamer announced the pilot on Thursday, joining several recent pilot pickups that Disney says fit its plan to make Disney+ a broader membership-focused platform.
- If the pilot is greenlit to series it would join a history of Disney projects adapted from theme-park attractions and could mark one of the first direct TV-series takes on a Disney ride.
