Disney is developing a fifth “Halloweentown” film, “Halloweentown 5,” after the franchise’s last installment in 2006. Multiple outlets report that the project is in early development at Disney, with no confirmed plot points or cast yet.
Variety says the script is being written by Lily Houghton and Ryan Koehn, based on characters by Paul Bernbaum. Forbes similarly frames the news as a “new” development and looks ahead to what fans may want to know, including whether original performers could return. ComingSoon.net focuses more on what the sequel should do to meet fan expectations, pointing to a prior franchise decision as the most controversial element it must address, though it does not add new story or casting specifics.
Across coverage, the central shared takeaway is that “Halloweentown 5” is real development news from Disney, but details remain limited. The outlets mainly differ in emphasis: one highlights development credits, another surveys what audiences might expect, and another argues for addressing a past controversy.
