The Holes reboot is not moving forward at Disney+. According to Deadline, Disney has scrapped its plans for the reboot after ordering a pilot.
Shay Rudolph, Greg Kinnear, Aidy Bryant, Flor Delis Alicea, Anire Kim Amoda, Noah Cottrell, Iesha Daniels, Sophie Dieterlen, Alexandra Doke and Maeve Press starred in the pilot in the gender-swapped reboot, which followed “Hayley (Rudolph), a teenage girl sent to a detention camp where the ruthless Warden (Kinnear) forces the campers to dig holes for a mysterious purpose.”
The following was revealed about the decision to cancel the Holes project:
“Expectations were high for the project, from Disney Branded Entertainment, with a writers room commissioned and one of the tax credits awarded to Disney in August earmarked for the potential series. (The credits are not title-specific and can be reassigned.) But also high was the bar for the reboot, and a decision was ultimately made not to go forward with it.”
