Disney streaming service Disney+ has been a huge success, thanks in part to original content such as The Mandalorian, Mulan, Psychic Journey and, more recently, Wanda Vision. Now, the media and theme park giant has announced it will reboot "The Mighty Ducks." Although based on a film from nearly 30 years ago, this time it will be a TV series.
The full title of the series is The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers. Disney says:
In this 10-episode show set in today's Minnesota, the Giant Ducks have grown from a weak brigade to a super-strong, competitive youth ice hockey team.
After 12-year-old Evan Morrow (Brady Noon) was ruthlessly cut by the Giant Ducks, he and his mom Alex (Lauren Graham) set out to form their own team to challenge the brutal competition and culture of success at all costs in today's teen sports world.
With the help of Gordon Bombay, they rediscovered the joy of racing only for the love of sports.
Emilio Estevez will reprise his role as Coach Gordon Pompeii, who also serves as executive producer of the show, which will premiere on Disney+ on March 26.
