An R-rated Winnie the Pooh series about the character Christopher Robin is in development from Boat Rocker Studios and Shamier Anderson and Stephan James’ Bay Mills Studios.
The live-action/animation hybrid series is being produced under the title "Christopher Robin".
The project follows disillusioned New Yorker Christopher Robin navigating his quarter-life crisis with the help of the weird talking animals who live beyond a drug-induced portal outside his derelict apartment complex, the Hundred Acres.
Charlie Kesslering penned the script for the project and will also executive produce. Conrad Vernon will direct the pilot and executive produce.
Nick Nantell executive produces for Boat Rocker along with Anderson and James for Bay Mills. Holly Hubsher is overseeing the project for Bay Mills. Bay Mills is c
urrently under a first-look deal at Boat Rocker.
This is the latest Winnie-the-Pooh project to be announced since the copyright protection on British author A.A. Milne’s most famous creations ran out in 2022, with the characters entering the public domain.
Among the more notable takes on Pooh since then is the horror film “Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey.”
This is not the first Winnie-the-Pooh project to be centered around the Winnie-the-Pooh character.
In 2018, Ewan McGregor starred in the live-action-and-CGI movie "Christopher Robin". He played Christopher Robin, a boy who had countless adventures in the Hundred Acre Wood and lost his way, and grew up to be a middle-aged middle manager.
His spirited and lovable stuffed animals, Winnie The Pooh, Tigger, Piglet, and the rest of the gang, teamed up to rekindle their friendship and remind him of endless days of childlike wonder.
