The Spiderwick Chronicles Canceled By Disney+ Before Even Airing
Deadline is reporting that Disney is not moving forward with “The Spiderwick Chronicles” as part of their ongoing restructuring of their digital library and holdings. This is the latest move for Disney, which also canceled “Doogie Kamealoha M.D.” after two seasons on the streaming service. The Spiderwick Chronicles was a live-action adaptation of the children’s book series, and it is now being shopped to other potential networks.

The eight episode series from Paramount Television Studios and 20th Television has been completed and was set to premiere on Disney+ before getting axed. Disney and other media companies have been culling the herd of titles as of late. Shows like “Spiderwick” Chronicles are being used for tax write-off purposes.
Iger spoke to this strategy not long ago on CNBC where he placed a heavy emphasis on content creation moving forward. The Spiderweb Chronicles was first announced as part of the Disney+ Day in November 2021. Production began last September in Canada with filming wrapping in early 2023.
The Spiderwick Chronicles, authored by Tony DiTerlizzi and Holly Black, is a captivating fantasy series that follows the extraordinary adventures of the Grace siblings – Jared, Simon, and Mallory – as they stumble upon a hidden realm filled with magical creatures and danger.
Discovering a mysterious book written by their great-great-uncle Arthur Spiderwick, the children uncover a world of faeries, goblins, and other mystical beings existing right under their noses. As they strive to protect the secrets of this magical realm from malevolent forces, the Grace children navigate a treacherous path, balancing their own survival with the preservation of a hidden fantastical world.
Rumor has it that Disney will learn heavily into Disney-owned IP moving forward with some exceptions. Stay tuned for more updates on The Spiderwick Chronicles and other shows on Disney+.
