The Spiderwick Chronicles, a fantasy series that wassurprisingly canceledonDisney Plusbefore it even aired, has found a new home on a different streaming service.
The Spiderwick Chronicles, starring Christian Slater and Jack Dylan Grazer, is based on the 2000s fantasy books by Tony DiTerlizzi and Holly Black. The fantasy series focuses on the adventures of siblings Jared, Simon, and Mallory as they chance upon a mystical book in their new home on the Spiderwick Estate. Mayhem, hijinks, and brushes with goblins, trolls, and ogres ensue. A film of the same name – with no relation to the series – was released in 2008.
The Spiderwick Chronicles wasn’t the only victim of aDisneyPlus cull. Back in August, another completed series – Nautilus, based on 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea – was canceled. Star Trek Discovery’s Shazad Latif was set to portray Captain Nemo in a cast that also included Georgia Flood, Thierry Fremont, Pacharo Mzembe, Damien Garvey, and Richard E. Grant.
Streaming services dropping completed projects has become a running trend in recent years. Most famously, Batgirlwas cannedbefore it had a chance to be released on what was then known asHBO Max.
