Fans of Disney‘s Gargoyles cartoon from the early 1990s are finally getting a new live-action television series based on the franchise.
The Hollywood Reporter revealed that the beloved animated series is being remade in live-action by Gary Dauberman and James Wan’s Atomic Monster banner. The new Gargoyles live-action series is being made for Disney+ and is being written and executive produced by Dauberman, who will also serve as showrunner. Dauberman’s previous writing projects include Annabelle, Annabelle: Creation, and Annabelle Comes Homes, as well as the pilot of the live-action DC series Swamp Thing.
Gargoyles has seen a bit of a resurgence in recent years, with a new comic that continued the story of the show beginning late last year and the Sega Genesis game adaptation being remastered and rereleased later this month.
When did Gargoyles originally air?
Disney’s Gargoyles originally aired for three seasons from 1994 to 1997. The first two seasons aired on first-run syndication. The third and final season aired on ABC starting in 1996 following Disney’s acquisition of the network. The animated series was a moderate success during its initial run, though it has gone on to amass a dedicated cult following in the years since. The Gargoyles franchise has also expanded into other mediums, such as comic books and video games.
