‘Tink’: Disney+ Developing Live-Action Tinker Bell Series

Originally, Tink was planned as a movie starring Reese Witherspoon, pitched in 2015. Like Maleficent and Cruella, it wasn’t a direct remake of a classic Disney animated film, but rather a new story exploring the backstory of a beloved character. In 2021, the project moved to Disney+ as a film, with Witherspoon remaining as a producer and Maria Melnik brought in to revise the script initially written by Victoria Strouse. However, when Yara Shahidi was cast as Tinker Bell in the 2023 live-action Peter Pan & Wendy, the future of the Tink project became uncertain. It’s currently unclear if Witherspoon is still involved now that the project may be a streaming series instead of a film.
