"The new series comes from creator/writer Bayan Wolcott and will be produced by Ryan Coogler's Proximity Media, fresh off the filmmaker's Oscar-winning success with Sinners, so we at least know its in good hands."
"Animorphs first premiered in 1996 with the book The Invasion, which laid the groundwork for its epic story that would go on to spawn 53 sequels, multiple companion books, and various other spin-offs."
"At its core, it's about a group of teens who discover a benevolent alien known as an Andalite, who warns them of a secret invasion being staged by the Yeerks, a parasitic slug-like species."
Disney+ is adapting the late-'90s YA book series Animorphs into a new TV show. The series, created by Bayan Wolcott and produced by Ryan Coogler's Proximity Media, resonates with LGBTQ+ millennials who identified with its themes of queerness and gender nonconformity. The original series, authored by K.A. Applegate, began in 1996 and featured a group of teens who gain the ability to morph into animals to combat an alien invasion. The adaptation aims to capture the essence of the beloved books and their cultural significance.
