Disney+’s Gender-Swapped Holes Series: Everything We Know So Far

‘Tis the season of reboots, and Disney+ is the latest streamer to hop on the trend. As anticipation around HBO’s Harry Potter series reboot (and its high-profile casting) grows, Disney+ is also tapping into the nostalgia by ordering a pilot for a gender-swapped reboot of Holes.

Starring Shia LaBeouf, Sigourney Weaver, Jon Voight, Patricia Arquette, Tim Blake Nelson, Eartha Kitt, Dulé Hill, and more, Walt Disney Pictures released Holes in 2003 as a feature film. Now, it looks like Louis Sachar’s beloved story will be adapted for the small screen, and LaBeouf’s Stanley Yelnats, the main character of the story, will be gender-swapped.

Below, find out everything we know so far about the gender-swapped Holes series reboot — from the people working hard to make it happen to its very announcement.
