Rio Spin-Off

Post by Sotiris »

It turns out instead of a TV series like it was initially reported, it's going to be a series of films for Disney+.
We have learned that Disney/Fox are in early development on spinoffs for the ‘Ice Age’ and ‘Rio’ franchises. Blue Sky Studios is currently set to be the production company behind these spinoffs. Per sources, we have been told that the ‘Rio’ spinoff will focus on Nico and Pedro and that the ‘Ice Age’ spinoff will focus on Buck. It is currently unknown at this time if the actors that voiced these respective roles will be offered to reprise them for these spinoffs given how the spinoffs are in early development.

I also heard the Rio series is likely cancelled but I don’t think that’s related to this shutdown.

Disney was working on a Rio series as well. Whilst the Ice Age series has been confirmed, Rio never was, which leads me to believe it was cancelled.

[Ray DeLaurentis] is currently developing an animated series based on a New York Times best-selling children’s book and writing streaming movies for 20th Century Studios/Disney+. The feature projects include the next installment in the “Ice Age” franchise, the next installment in the “Rio” franchise and an animated feature version of the “Night at the Museum” movie franchise for 21 Laps Entertainment and Disney+.
