The Walt Disney Company is about to enter the happiest place in the world on Disney+ with confirmation that For All Mankind and Battlestar Galactica’s Ron Moore is developing a “universe” of new shows set in the various worlds of the Magic Kingdom theme park. The news, first reported by The Hollywood Reporter, describes the series The Society of Explorers and Adventurers as being
“set in a world where all the themed lands and characters of the Disney parks and classic films actually exist in another reality.”
The Hollywood Reporter added that if successful,
“Moore will build out the Magic Kingdom universe and oversee the entire franchise.”
The Society of Explorers and Adventurers could feature characters like
“sea boat captain from the Jungle Cruise or prospector from Big Thunder Mountain or the climbers of the Matterhorn”
Moore said of his overall deal with The Walt Disney Company’s 20th Television,
“I decided to go there mostly because my childhood was built around a lot of things that were Disney. I am a huge fan and aficionado of the Disneyland park in Anaheim to the point where I would go there by myself periodically and ride the rides,” “The opportunity for me to get to work on a lot of the classic IP that Disney has and things in their library that meant so much to me as a child growing up and that I have shared with my children ultimately was just something I couldn’t pass up.”
