Disney+ orders a new animated “Darkwing Duck” series, reviving the classic 1991 superhero for a new run. Multiple outlets report that the project centers on Drake Mallard, who becomes the crime-fighting character Darkwing Duck.
The cast is led by Mark Hamill as Drake Mallard/Darkwing Duck and Seth Rogen in a starring voice role. Other announced voice performers across coverage include Lizzy Caplan, with additional names also appearing in some listings, such as Dan Stevens and others. Variety and other outlets also frame the series as a reboot/revival that Disney is moving forward with nearly six years after earlier development reporting.
Sources also identify production leadership, with Sean Tretta connected to the series’ creative team and executive production, though outlets vary in emphasis and in how they describe additional contributors. Across reports, the common thread is Disney+’s official move to series and the modern voice cast anchored by Hamill and Rogen.
