Roku Saves 'The Spiderwick Chronicles' TV Series After Disney+ Cancellation

Roku has acquired the exclusive U.S. rights to the television adaptation of "The Spiderwick Chronicles," a popular children's fantasy book series. The eight-episode series, starring Joy Bryant and Christian Slater, will premiere on Roku in early 2024. The move comes after Disney+ decided not to proceed with the series due to its darker tone. This marks Roku's most ambitious series to date and adds to its scripted slate, which has largely consisted of shows from the Quibi content library.

Disney+ Cancels 'The Spiderwick Chronicles' Series in Cost-Cutting Move

Disney+ has decided not to move forward with "The Spiderwick Chronicles," a live-action series adaptation of the popular children's fantasy books. The completed eight-episode series, produced by Paramount Television Studios and 20th Television, is now being shopped to other potential buyers. This decision is part of Disney's strategy to cut programming costs and focus on profitability. Disney+ will prioritize content based on Disney-owned IP, with exceptions for certain non-Disney properties like the upcoming Goosebumps series. The first wave of original series for Disney+ has been removed from the platform, and new content development has been put on hold.
