I wonder if this will be canon to the DuckTales reboot or will it be its own thing. The fact it's being produced by different people than the ones on DuckTales makes believe it's the latter.

A “Darkwing Duck” reboot is in early development at Disney Plus, Variety has learned from sources. No writer is currently attached to the project, but sources say it will be executive produced by Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, James Weaver, and Alex McAtee of Point Grey Pictures. McAtee will oversee the project for the company.

The reboot is in early development at Disney Television Animation, which falls under the newly formed Disney Branding Television unit headed by Gary Marsh, Deadline has confirmed. A writer is not yet attached. Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg will executive produce the project via Point Grey Pictures.

I have to confess I've never been a big fan of the original TV show. I watched all the episodes as a child, but I much preferred other Disney Afternoon series like Gummi Bears, DuckTales or TaleSpin. I wasn't into superhero stuff back then, so it might've been because of that. Now that I'm more used to the genre, I would probably enjoy it more. Anyway, I'm glad there'll be a new show about the character.

Was made aware of the Darkwing Duck reboot still being a thing when I met Jim Cummings at LA Con last year. He said it was still happening, and he’d be voicing our beloved terror who flaps in the night once again!
