On the ‘Dropping Names’ podcast he co-hosts with Jonathan Frakes, Brent Spiner, who voiced Puck in the original 1994 series, shared that a second animated take is in development; the live-action version has sat at Disney+ since 2023.
A new Gargoyles animated series is in development at Disney who voiced the gargoyle trickster Puck in the 1994 original
Spiner made the remark last month on Dropping Names … and other things, the podcast he co-hosts with his Star Trek: The Next Generation castmate Jonathan Frakes. Their guest was Michael Dorn, another Next Generation actor who, like Frakes, had a recurring role on the original show. Frakes voiced David Xanatos; Dorn voiced Coldstone and Taurus.
Frakes raised the revival rumors that have followed the property for years, among them the live-action version Disney+ has had in development since 2023. Spiner said he had been told that morning that this one is another animated series.
Disney has not announced the project. There is no word on a creative team, a cast, a format, a release plan, or whether it would continue the original story or start over. Created by Greg Weisman for Walt Disney Television Animation, Gargoyles debuted in 1994. It followed a clan of ancient Scottish gargoyles transported to modern-day Manhattan, and its serialized storytelling, gothic tone and heavy use of mythology and Shakespeare were unusual for Disney television at the time.
The show ran 78 episodes over three seasons; Weisman carried the story on through several comic series at Dynamite Entertainment. As first a live-action Gargoyles series has been in development at Disney+ since 2023, with Gary Dauberman writing and James Wan’s Atomic Monster producing
