Barris will also be writing the script alongside Jenifer Rice-Genzuk. Donald J. Lee Jr. (The Greatest Showman, The Art of Racing in the Rain) will also be a producer on the project.

This series was formally announced at the Disney Investor Day in December 2020 and will arrive on Disney+ in 2022. Production is slated to begin this summer.
