EXCLUSIVE: Disney+ has abruptly pulled the plug on one of the high-profile original series in the works at the streaming service, BookOfEnchantment

High School Musical: The Musical: The Series,

and made creative changes earlier this year in part because the original showrunner was looking to tackle more adult themes.I hear an effort was made for a mid-stream creative direction shift, trying to bring back some levity in tone while keeping the project going and the writers room open. As part of the efforts to find a path forward, producer Jason Reed was brought in after July 4 to help out.

The decision was backed by ABC Studios/ABC Signature where Seitzman is among of the top showrunners on the talent roster. Out of respect to the seasoned creator-producer on part of both ABC Studios and Disney+, they opted not to compromise his vision and push the project in a direction where its creative team was not comfortable going.

Also factoring into the decision was the series’ cost. I hear the initial budget came in very high but, after concessions, the streamer, the studio and the producers were getting closer to a compromise. Still, because of its nature and scop,ewas going to be a very expensive series, so that, paired with the uncertainty over its tone and creative direction likely sealed its fate.

Thanks a lot Disney. Ruining another good thing...... BookofEnchantment

Ugh this sounded so good. I love Disney but whyyyyy can’t they have a darker show aimed at adults/late teens? I mean, make a lighter one for the young kids too

Noooooo 😭😭

keep it dark but make it a musical series, there you go.

To bad sounded interesting. Guess Disney is just gonna keep remaking everything.

Well that was one I was looking foreword to. Sad.

Wtf I was excited about this 😫

I was looking forward to this and I understand we have Once Upon A Time and Descendants, but this would have been a dark fresh new take weaving in all the villains. But if it doesn’t happen in another way, well, oh well

Whyyyy

Welp...there goes my JAFAR audition 😔

And one wonders if anybody ever asked haven’t we already done “once upon a time?”

Maybe they planning a movie? Or want to plan a universe of the live action movies? Maybe that why also Cruella got delay? And want to start making every memorial Day one piece of that big plan🤓

I guess they’ve learned their lesson on adapting from books
