Disney announces Oswald the Lucky Rabbit miniseries for 2027

At the D23 event, Disney announced a new three-part miniseries starring Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, scheduled to premiere on Disney+ in February 2027. The project is written, directed, and executive produced by Jon Favreau.

The series will feature a hybrid visual style, combining live-action elements with traditional 2D hand-drawn animation. The animation is being handled by SPA Studios, the Spanish outfit known for the film ‘Klaus’. Footage shown at the showcase depicts the character interacting within a real-world setting, specifically inside Walt Disney’s preserved office.

The cast includes Amy Sedaris, Kathryn Hahn, Steve Martin, Al Madrigal, Ravi Cabot-Conyers, Mykal-Michelle Harris, and Ryder Allen. John Debney is set to compose the score. The character Oswald, created by Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks in 1927, predates Mickey Mouse and was famously reclaimed by Disney from Universal in 2006.
