A release date and first teaser for the reboot series The Spiderwick Chronicles have been announced, following its rescue from Disney+ cancellation.
In addition to revealing the series’ premiere date of April 19, 2024, the first teaser trailer for The Spiderwick Chronicles has also emerged.
There was a time when a brand new TV show called The Spiderwick Chronicles, based on the books, was in the works to debut on Disney+. The news broke in August 2023 that, in an effort to save money, Disney+ had decided not to proceed with the show. Since production on the show had already wrapped up, this came as something of a shock to everyone. The U.S. rights to the canceled series were acquired by The Roku Channel in October 2023. Along with this came the announcement that the show will be increased from six episodes ordered by Disney+ to eight episodes. The first teaser trailer, which Roku debuted on Wednesday, is below.
The Spiderwick Chronicles, a remarkable adventure-filled tale helmed by the marvelous Christian Slater and Joy Bryant, will be available exclusively on The Roku Channel,” stated Brian Tannenbaum, Head of Originals at Roku Media, about the company’s decision to save the series. “Millions of streamers will be introduced to this meticulously produced series by a world-class creative team, and we could not be more excited.”
