As of recently, Disney has been rebooting many of their beloved classics. From The Jungle Book to Pinocchio, Disney is re-introducing their characters and stories with new faces and new audiences. The latest project to be given the reboot update is the “Witch Mountain” franchise.
Like many reboots, the “Witch Mountain” pilot is expected to be reframed to fit a more contemporary timeline. A step up from the 1968 novel and 1975 first film adaptation, the “Witch Mountain” series is no stranger to their material being brought to the big screen for a new audience. Like previous films, “Witch Mountain” follows two teens who discover they have strange abilities. Upon this realization, the teens realize their “seemingly idyllic” suburban neighborhood is not what it appears to be.

As reported by WDWNT.com, the streaming service Disney+ will have a brand-new cast for the new “Witch Mountain” franchise. Such talent includes Bryce Dallas Howard from the “Jurassic World” franchise and “Rocketman”, Isabel Gravitt known for “The Watcher”, and Levi Miller of “Streamline”. In addition, Bianca Norwood (known for the series “We Crashed”) and Jackson Kelly (who appeared in “Straight Man”) are cast as series regulars in the pilot for “Witch Mountain.”
With such a familiar and star-studded cast, Game Rant states how this newest revival “bodes well” for entertaining its latest audience. Confirming this is how lead star Bryce Dallas Howard was a fan of the original series in her youth and her excitement to follow the path of her idols. As details of the rebooted pilot have yet to materialize, the “Witch Mountain” series is expected to offer a greater range of imaginative storytelling, resulting in the latest successful reboot. With such inventive storytelling and a talented cast, the upcoming pilot might be the first of a successful reboot series.
