Disney+ adds The Mysterious Benedict Society to 2021 line-up

November 16, 2020 - Staff@seenituk

The Mysterious Benedict Society, based on Trenton Lee Stewart’s bestselling book series, will be coming to Disney+ in 2021. 

The series, which was originally developed for US streaming service Hulu, stars Emmy Award winner Tony Hale (“Veep,” “Arrested Development”) in the titular role alongside an ensemble of young actors.  

Placed undercover at a boarding school known as The Institute, a group of orphans must foil a nefarious plot with global ramifications while creating a new sort of family along the way. 

“The Mysterious Benedict Society is a beautifully executed adaptation of the celebrated and beloved book series. It’s original, clever and fun for the whole family, which makes it the perfect fit for Disney+,” said Dana Walden, chairman of Entertainment, Walt Disney Television.  

“One of the great benefits to creators working with our company is that we have a platform that’s right for every series, and having seen the first few episodes of this show, there is no better home for it than Disney+.” 

“Disney+ has established itself over the last year as the streaming home for a diverse slate of high-quality content featuring beloved franchises, stories and characters,” said Ricky Strauss, president, Programming and Content Curation, Disney+ and Hulu. 

“We’re thrilled to add ‘The Mysterious Benedict Society’ to Disney+ and know it will captivate our viewers’ imagination with exciting new worlds and capture the hearts of audiences of all ages.” 

Writers/creators Matt Manfredi and Phil Hay added: “We are so thrilled that Disney+ will be the home for our show. 

“What a great place to be! It’s a beautiful thing to feel as supported and inspired as we have, every step of the way, by our entire team at 20th, Hulu and the Disney family; and we are honored and gratified by the belief in the show this represents. 

“From the moment Jamie and Karen brought us these fantastic books, through our collaboration with Todd, Darren, Tony and our amazing cast and crew, we’ve felt very lucky. Certainly feeling that way today.”
