If you were someone who said, “They’re making Spaceship Earth into a TV series? Before they’ve even done that refurbishment on the ride they’ve been talking about for years? What’s it even going to be about?” We finally have the answer to that question!

EPCOT

It was announced back in August that a TV show inspired by the EPCOT ride had a pilot episode ordered, meaning that Disney wants a team to come together to film the first episode of what COULD be a whole series. However, they’ll make the decision on if they should continue with the show after then pilot episode is filmed and the company reviews it. Details on the show have very much been kept under wraps — until now, that is!

According to Deadline, Catherine Laga’aia and Deacon Phillippe are set to star in the new Spaceship Earth TV show on Disney+. Laga’aia is best known in the Disney sphere for portraying Moana in the live-action version of the film, and Phillippe is best known for his role as Cole in the 2026 film Brother Save Us.

The plot for the series was also revealed! In the series, “when a mission to avert an imminent global cataclysm goes awry, a small band of teenagers from Earth’s past and future must join forces to confront a threat as vast and mysterious as time itself.” It sounds like there will be more supporting characters in the pilot, so we’re looking forward to seeing who will be set to bring those characters to life.

Details about their characters are being kept under wraps at this time. The creative team behind the pilot consists of Jason Fuchs (Writer/Showrunner/Executive Producer via Five Ten Productions), Michael Waldron (Writer/Executive Producer), Lee Toland Krieger (Director/Executive Producer), Adam Fishbach (Executive Producer), Adam Fasullo (Executive Producer), and 20th Television.

If you want to check out what else these two actors have been in, or what they have coming up, Laga’aia also starred in Amazon Prime’s The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart and leads the thriller Crashout that releases in 2027. As for Phillippe, he’s currently working on the film adaptation of Better Than the Movies and will be seen in 4 Kids Walk Into a Bank coming out later in 2026.
