Tinker Bell Live-Action Series in Works at Disney+

Disney+ is developing a live-action spinoff series about "Tinker Bell," the tritagonist in the 1953 animated classic "Peter Pan."

Titled “Tink,” the project hails from “Friday Night Lights” collaborators Liz Heldens and Bridget Carpenter, who are on board to write and executive produce.

Tinker Bell first appeared in Disney’s "Peter Pan" and has appeared in countless movies and series over the past 70 years.

She is a sassy fairy who serves as Peter Pan's sidekick. Tink regularly joins Peter on his exploits throughout the magical isle of Neverland. She values their relationship so much that the presence of other girls (particularly Wendy Darling) causes her to become insanely jealous and spiteful.

Disney hasn’t shared a logline for the project, but it has been in the works in various forms for at least a decade. Now, it is considered a “high priority project” at the streamer.

In 2010, “Tink” was announced as a live-action romantic comedy with Elizabeth Banks attached to star and Adam Shankman, Jennifer Gibgot, and McG as producers.

Reese Witherspoon was attached to star in another version of “Tink" in 2015, which was billed as a live-action film based on the “Peter Pan” character Tinker Bell.

More recently, Yara Shahidi played Tinker Bell in the 2023 live action film “Peter Pan and Wendy.”

Besides Heldens and Carpenter, also attached is former Disney Channels Worldwide president/Disney Branded Television president and chief creative officer Gary Marsh, who departed that post in 2021 and turned his attention to producing. Selfish Mermaid’s Quinn Haberman is also an exec producer.

This version of “Tink” is in drama development at Disney+ through 20th Television.
