We’ve seen a lot of show cancelations this year already, and now, a live action project we were looking forward to seeing come to Disney+ has now been abandoned. Prepare yourselves — some of you may be more than devastated by this news.

Variety has reported that sources close to the Gargoyles live-action remake have confirmed that the reboot has been abandoned. The project was being produced by Disney+, and it was announced back in 2023 that the company was working with writer Gary Dauberman and James Wan’s Atomic Monster to bring the live-action to life. The original Disney animated series aired from 1994 to 1997.

It was pretty dark for Disney at the time, and according to IMDb, the logline for the original series was, “A clan of heroic night creatures pledge to protect modern New York City as they did in Scotland one thousand years earlier.” The show had a total of 78 episodes over its three-year run. When Greg Weisman, co-creator of the original series, was asked about the live-action in an interview, he stated, “That’s dead. I have no idea about animation, but there are no current plans for live-action.” IMDbPro currently lists the live-action reboot as abandoned as of August 31st, 2026.

This isn’t the first time a reboot or continuation of the series has been talked about or desired, but this is certainly the furthest one has gotten. The original series has quite the strong following, so we’re holding out hope that someday a reboot will happen and bring our childhoods back to life.
