How exciting!

Hopefully by the time the revival drops, the OG series will hit Disney+.

My thought was that this was twelve different kinds of stupid, but then I read that it was only a four episode deal.

But then, these things always start small ...

Just let a good thing be a good thing, folks.

4 episodes? lol
Just make it a reunion movie and be done with it.

Maybe they’re testing the waters to see how audiences respond to it before they give it another extended season of episodes.

The only one on the list that sort of surprises me is Trolls Band Together (and it being that high, too). Did it release last year? For some reason, I thought it was '23.

Disney Gains Surprise 1.4 Million Disney+ Subscribers as Streaming Profit Surges, CEO Iger Says ‘We Remain Optimistic’ About Fiscal 2025 Outlook
https://variety.com/2025/tv/news/disney ... 236388735/

For fiscal year 2025, Disney expects adjusted earnings per share of $5.75, which would be up 16% year over year. The media conglom forecast cash provided by operations of $17 billion (versus $14 billion in fiscal 2024), up $2 billion from prior guidance driven by a deferral of tax payment. Disney also expects double-digit increases in operating income for its entertainment and sports segments, and 6%-8% growth in operating income for its theme park and consumer products biz.

Even so, Disney cautioned in announcing the earnings, “We continue to monitor macroeconomic developments for potential impacts to our businesses and recognize that uncertainty remains regarding the operating environment for the balance of the fiscal year,” which ends in late September 2025.

Iger, in prepared remarks, sounded an upbeat note. “Overall, we remain optimistic about the direction of the company and our outlook for the remainder of the fiscal year,” he said.

“Our outstanding performance this quarter — with adjusted EPS up 20% from the prior year driven by our Entertainment and Experiences businesses — underscores our continued success building for growth and executing across our strategic priorities,” Iger said. “Following an excellent first half of the fiscal year, we have a lot more to look forward to, including our upcoming theatrical slate, the launch of ESPN’s new DTC offering, and an unprecedented number of expansion projects underway in our Experiences segment.
