"The new adaptation's official logline states it will 'follow a group of teenagers who uncover a hidden threat lurking beneath their everyday lives, all while juggling relationships, curfews, and the chaos of high school.'"
"Animorphs follows five human teenagers - Jake, Cassie, Marco, Tobias, and Rachel - along with alien friend Aximili-Esgarrouth-Isthill (Ax for short), as they battle against the Yeerks, a parasitic alien race secretly infiltrating Earth."
"Michael Grant and I have concerns that the project is under-resourced. But one of the producers, Sev Ohanian, is a friend, as well as a genuine Animorphs fan. If anyone can make it work, he can. Fingers crossed."
A new Animorphs TV series is in early development at Disney+, with Bayan Wolcott as the writer and executive producer. Ryan and Zinzi Coogler, along with Sev Ohanian, will also executive-produce. Scholastic, the books' publisher, is heavily involved in production. Katherine Applegate and Michael Grant are not involved, expressing concerns about the project's resources. The adaptation will follow teenagers uncovering hidden threats while managing high school life, aligning with the original book series' themes.
