Disney+ has officially greenlit a Darkwing Duck reboot, led by Mark Hamill as Drake Mallard with a new teen protagonist Duckie guiding the revival in a reimagined universe.

The cast includes Seth Rogen, Lizzy Caplan, Lilimar, Dan Stevens, Tiffany Shepis, Kathryn Newton, Teo Briones, Tyler Dean Flores, Katie Rich and Nat Faxon in supporting roles, with Tad Stones consulting as the original creator.

The series is produced by Sean Tretta and Borja Peña Gorostegui, continuing Tad Stones’s involvement as a creator consultant while revisiting the 1990s tone.

Darkwing Duck originally aired from 1991 to 1993 with 91 episodes and later expanded into games and comics, anchoring the revival with a strong fan legacy.

Development has stretched over several years, with the project officially greenlit but without a announced release timeline.

The rollout emphasizes fan anticipation and invites engagement in comments and discussions surrounding the reboot.

ABC7 is cited as a source for the announcement, with coverage cross-referenced from other outlets.

Other in-development projects mentioned include Janeane Garofalo joining Ben Stiller’s Apple TV comedy Protective Custody and Charlie Hall co-writing a Netflix comedy about a college fraternity drug ring, per Variety/Deadline notes.

Casting updates also note Cauã Reymond joining Hulu’s All’s Fair for Season 2 as a series regular, with the show previously renewed for a second season.

There is no premiere date yet for Darkwing Duck, and Disney+ remains the planned streaming home.

Other media industry notes include Billy Bush becoming a Fox News contributor after leaving NBC in 2016, with appearances on Fox platforms.

Promotional momentum includes a nod to the original theme and an emphasis on the new animation style while keeping the core feel of Darkwing Duck.
