Jon Favreau Developing Oswald the Lucky Rabbit Series for Disney+

The new live-action/animation hybrid show will reintroduce the iconic 1927 Disney character in a modern context.

  • Jon Favreau, known for his work on The Mandalorian and Disney’s live-action films, is set to write and produce a Disney+ series about Oswald the Lucky Rabbit.
  • The series will combine live-action and animation, though it is still in early development with no cast or release date announced.
  • Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, created by Walt Disney in 1927, was Disney's precursor to Mickey Mouse but was lost to Universal until Disney reacquired the rights in 2006.
  • The project reflects Disney CEO Bob Iger’s long-standing effort to revive Oswald, who has had only minor appearances since his return to the company.
  • Favreau’s track record with Disney and the hybrid format suggests the series could creatively blend nostalgia with modern storytelling.
