UK 'Coraline' Musical Canceled Following Neil Gaiman Sexual Assault Allegations

Theater companies halted the production after multiple women accused the author of sexual misconduct, prompting widespread pauses on his creative projects.

The planned UK stage adaptation of Neil Gaiman's 'Coraline' has been canceled by co-producers Leeds Playhouse, Royal Lyceum Theatre Edinburgh, Birmingham Rep, and HOME Manchester.
The decision follows allegations of sexual assault and misconduct against Gaiman by multiple women, including claims of non-consensual BDSM and other abusive behaviors.
Gaiman has denied the allegations, stating he has never engaged in non-consensual sexual activity while acknowledging personal failings in past relationships.
Several other projects tied to Gaiman, including Disney's adaptation of 'The Graveyard Book,' Dark Horse Comics' publications, and Amazon's 'Good Omens,' have been paused, altered, or canceled.
Netflix's 'The Sandman' Season 2 is still expected to release later this year, though the future of other adaptations remains uncertain.
