Disney+ has ordered a pilot for a new scripted series titled “Spaceship Earth,” based on the EPCOT attraction of the same name at Walt Disney World. Multiple outlets report that Jason Fuchs, known for co-showrunning “IT: Welcome to Derry,” is attached to write the project and serve as showrunner and executive producer. The project also includes Michael Waldron, credited with roles on “Loki,” who is involved as an executive producer and co-writer. Lee Toland Krieger (“You,” “Riverdale,” “Shadow & Bone”) is set to executive produce and direct. Production is associated with 20th Television, which is reported as part of the project’s development.
Deadline additionally describes the series premise as following a mission intended to avert an imminent global cataclysm that goes awry, involving a small group of characters. The sources agree that the first step is a pilot order, meaning Disney+ is developing the series and will decide on further production after the pilot stage.
