Female-Led Disney+ Series ‘Holes’: Release Date and Cast
Get ready to revisit the iconic story of Camp Green Lake, because Disney+ is bringing us a fresh take on the beloved novel “Holes” by Louis Sachar. But this time around, things are going to be a bit different. Instead of following Stanley Yelnats like in the original book and 2003 movie, this new adaptation will be female-led, featuring a mix of new faces and familiar stars.
The cast for this exciting new Disney+ series has been announced, and we can’t wait to see them in action. Set to star in the show are Greg Kinnear, Aidy Bryant, Shay Rudolph, Flor Delis Alicea, Anire Kim Amoda, and Noah Cottrell. We’ll also see Iesha Daniels and Sophie Dieterlen making their TV debuts, alongside Alexandra Doke and Maeve Press.
In this updated version of “Holes,” which is based on Sachar’s award-winning novel, the focus will be on a teenage girl played by Shay Rudolph who finds herself at a detention camp. Along with other campers, she is forced to dig holes day after day under the supervision of a strict and mysterious Warden played by Greg Kinnear. The logline teases that they are digging for a “mysterious purpose.”
This Disney+ pilot is in good hands, with Alina Mankin writing and executive producing, Liz Phang as showrunner, and Jac Schaeffer, known for her work on “WandaVision,” set to direct. The project is a collaboration between Disney Branded Television, Goddard Textiles, Walden Media, and Shamrock, the rights holder.
For fans of the original movie starring Shia LaBeouf, this updated version is sure to bring back fond memories. And don’t forget, Khleo Thomas, who played Zero in the 2003 film, still cherishes his role and the impact it has had on audiences.
So, get ready to dive back into the world of “Holes” with this fresh and exciting adaptation. It’s time to see how this new version will unearth a whole new story for fans old and new alike.
