US Edition‘Holes’ TV Series Not Moving Forward at Disney+ | Just Jared: Celebrity News and Gossip
Disney+ decided not to proceed with the gender-swapped Holes pilot after it failed to meet the creative and quality standards set for the reboot, despite high expectations.
- This year, Disney+ decided not to move forward with a TV adaptation of Louis Sachar's Holes after reviewing a pilot ordered at the beginning of this year.
- After an internal review, Disney executives responsible for pilot review concluded the pilot did not clear the high creative bar despite high expectations and one tax credit awarded to Disney in August.
- The pilot assembled a notable team: Shay Rudolph was cast as Hayley, with Greg Kinnear as the Warden and Aidy Bryant among actors, while Alina Mankin wrote and Liz Phang and Jac Schaeffer served as executive producers.
- The studio's choice means shelving the Holes pilot halts a high-profile reboot affecting Shay Rudolph, Greg Kinnear, Aidy Bryant and the creative team, as Disney+ advances projects like Percy Jackson's third season.
- The reimagining notably flipped the protagonist's gender, following a teenage girl at a detention camp rather than the original boy from Louis Sachar's award-winning novel and Walden Media's 2003 film starring Shia LaBeouf and original film cast.
