A live-action Mary Poppins television series is in development, intended to be a faithful adaptation of the original eight novels by P. L. Travers. The project aims to explore the “darker, more surreal, and mysterious elements” of the source material, contrasting with the musical versions popularized by Disney. The production intends to capture the more unpredictable and strict nature of the character found in the books. Producer Tom Winchester is developing the series through Pure Fiction Television, having optioned the rights directly from the trustees of the P. L. Travers estate. The project is supported by See-Saw Films and the UK talent agency Hamilton Hodell. The series is currently in the pitch stage and lacks a confirmed platform, cast, or release date. The episodic format is expected to allow for a broader exploration of the books, including surreal adventures that extend beyond the Banks family home. While Disney is not required to approve the series, early-stage discussions have reportedly taken place regarding potential involvement from the studio. Winchester is currently approaching high-profile showrunners as development continues.
