It may take a few more months before Disney’s Magic Kingdom is flooded again with thousands of tourists, but Disney expects millions more to look for a different type of vacation at the Happiest Place on Earth. According to Hollywood News reporter, For all mankind creator Ronald D. Moore is leading the development of a universe composed of projects based on (what else?) Disney’s “classic parks and films” for Disney +.
Known for his work in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Battlestar Galactica, Outlander, and his current speculative NASA drama on Apple TV, Moore’s future Disney + franchise is reportedly set in the universe of Disney’s “beloved Magic Kingdom.” The franchise will include a television show, The Society of Explorers and Adventurers, which takes place “in a world where all the theme lands and characters from Disney parks and classic films really exist in another reality”. Moore will write and executive produce the series.
Per THR, Moore is also working with the Disney Imagineering Team to explore which existing Disney characters, park attractions or classic movie properties can serve as a starting point for a movie or TV show, Pirates of the Caribbean-style. For Whit, Moore is already working on a Swiss Family Robinson series with Crazy Rich Asians director John M. Chu.
Moore and Disney probably have a safe full of ideas, but if they want our two cents, we would like to introduce the idea of an alternative Congressional history drama featuring a young Bob Dole. Stay with us. The title? Dole Whip.
