EPCOT's Iconic Spaceship Earth Is Getting the Disney+ Treatment
Jason Fuchs will write the pilot, which uses the ride’s time-travel premise to follow teenagers trying to stop a global cataclysm.
- Disney+ has ordered a pilot for "Spaceship Earth", a series inspired by the iconic EPCOT attraction at Walt Disney World in Bay Lake, Florida, which has operated since 1982.
- "IT: Welcome to Derry" co-showrunner Jason Fuchs is writing the pilot and serving as showrunner, with "Loki" writer Michael Waldron executive producing under his Anomaly Pictures banner.
- The logline states, "When a mission to avert an imminent global cataclysm goes awry, a small band of teenagers from Earth." The pilot uses the ride's time-travel premise as its jumping-off point.
- Expanding its slate, Disney+ recently announced pilot pickups for a "The Mickey Mouse Club" reboot and shows based on "The Last Kids on Earth" and the movie "Aquamarine".
- Disney previously attempted to launch an interconnected universe starting with a "Society of Explorers and Adventurers" series, though that project never moved forward, marking this as the latest park-based IP attempt.
