Disney+ Just Canceled A Major Show Before It Could Premiere

The Disney+ logo.

During its existence, Disney+ has produced a number of original series, with each of them having varied lifespans due to having been canceled at different times. Some shows have only lasted a single season on the platform, while others have reached the two-season mark before receiving the axe. Of course, it’s also not uncommon for a show to be scrapped somewhere within the development process. That’s what just happened, as it’s been confirmed that D+ won’t be proceeding with what was considered a high-profile show.

It’s been reported that Disney+ has opted not to move forward with the TV adaptation of Holes, Louis Sachar’s 1998 novel, which was adapted into a 2003 film by the House of Mouse. As noted by Variety, a pilot was produced and was written by Alina Mankin, and Liz Phang was attached to the production as showrunner. Jac Schaeffer (the creator of WandaVision and Agatha All Along) also directed the episode. However, the streamer ultimately opted not to grant a series order.
