Favreau's Oswald Rabbit Series Coming to Disney+

Author : Jason Mar 14,2025

Disney veteran Jon Favreau is developing a Disney+ series featuring Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, the classic animated icon. According to a Deadline report, Favreau will blend live-action and animation for this TV show, serving as both writer and producer. Plot details and casting remain undisclosed.

Oswald, a significant figure in Disney's history, enjoyed a brief tenure with the company (26 silent cartoons from 1927-1928) before a rights dispute led to his acquisition by Universal. This period, as detailed in our in-depth look at Disney's 100-year history, proved pivotal, ultimately leading to the creation of Mickey Mouse. Disney reacquired the rights to Oswald in 2006 and released a new short featuring the character in 2022. This new series signifies a more substantial commitment to Oswald's legacy. A release date is yet to be announced.

Favreau's involvement with this project follows his extensive work on other Disney properties. He's a key figure in the *Star Wars* universe, contributing to *The Mandalorian*, *Skeleton Crew*, and *Ahsoka*. His contributions to the Marvel Cinematic Universe span 15 years, including directing the 2019 *Lion King* remake. He's also set to direct *The Mandalorian* and Grogu's theatrical release in 2026.

Interestingly, Oswald's recent appearance in the 2023 horror film, Oswald: Down the Rabbit Hole, starring Ernie Hudson, occurred just a year after the character entered the public domain. This new Disney+ series marks a distinct and official return for Oswald under the Disney banner.
