Anne Hathaway Is Executive Producing an 'Ella Enchanted' TV Series for Disney+
Anne Hathaway executive produces as the adaptation shifts the story toward a coming-of-age format with a boarding school setting.
- Disney+ is developing a series based on the 2004 film Ella Enchanted, with Anne Hathaway set to executive produce. Miramax Television and Paramount Television Studios are co-producing the adaptation, now in early development.
- The project extends Hathaway's long-standing relationship with Disney, which began with her career-launching role in The Princess Diaries. Miramax is now 49% owned by Paramount, facilitating increased collaboration between the two studios.
- Writer Ilana Wolpert and showrunner Beth Schwartz are leading the creative team. The adaptation centers on a teen girl stuck with the "gift" of obedience, based on Gail Carson Levine's 1997 book.
- Unlike the original film, the series shifts toward a coming-of-age narrative set at a boarding school, echoing the reframing of Addams Family lore. This school setting represents a significant departure from the 2004 movie.
- Hathaway, currently starring in The Devil Wears Prada 2, will appear in three more films this year. The series marks the second high-profile Miramax library adaptation, following Cop Land.
