Overview

• Nova Sky Stories announced Katzenberg’s advisory role alongside WndrCo’s participation in a $50 million raise, the company’s first funding since acquiring Intel’s drone unit in 2022.
• Kimbal Musk says the proprietary fleet could expand to as many as 25,000 drones next year, leveraging patented hardware acquired from Intel rather than off‑the‑shelf models.
• The first show co-developed with Katzenberg is scheduled for 2026, with a goal of delivering branded family entertainment to crowds of roughly 50,000 to 80,000 in stadiums worldwide.
• The company reports growing traction with a 90‑minute Four Seasons show, dedicated fleets in the U.S., E.U. and Australia, 6,000 tickets sold in 2024, and a target of about 500,000 tickets this year.
• Katzenberg and Musk describe drones as a new canvas for storytelling, with plans for original, interactive characters and audience engagement features still under development.
