Ella Enchanted TV Series in Development at Disney+

Disney+ is giving new life to the classic story of Ella Enchanted, based on the 2004 film of the same name. Anne Hathaway, the star of the original movie, will act as an executive producer for the upcoming series. Ilana Wolpert is penning the script, with Beth Schwartz stepping in as showrunner. This collaboration between Miramax Television and Paramount Television Studios promises to bring a fresh take on the classic Cinderella fairytale.

In the new Disney+ adaptation, Ella will embark on a journey to break the spell of absolute obedience, aiming to protect herself and her kingdom. Unlike the film, this series will have a distinctive coming-of-age vibe, set within the backdrop of a boarding school. This shift in focus promises to add a unique twist to the beloved tale.

Anne Hathaway’s collaboration with Disney continues to flourish, following her recent success in The Devil Wears Prada 2 alongside Meryl Streep. The movie exceeded all expectations, securing the top spot at the box office upon its release on May 1, grossing an impressive $233.6 million worldwide. This triumph further solidifies Disney’s dominance in the entertainment industry, emerging as the first studio to surpass $2 billion at the global box office in 2026.
