A pilot for an Aquamarine TV series has been ordered at Disney+ (and Disney Channel). Emma Roberts is set to reprise her character from the 2006 movie as well as produce.
Disney+ has handed a pilot order to Aquamarine, based on the 2006 teen fantasy romantic comedy starring Emma Roberts. The project, for Disney+ and Disney Channel, hails from Roberts, the film’s director Elizabeth Allen Rosenbaum and producer Susan Cartsonis. The Bold Type creator Sarah Watson will pen the pilot.
In addition to executive producing, Roberts will reprise her role as Claire Brown from the film as a guest star.
In the pilot, when teenaged Coral moves to a dreamy seaside town, she begins unraveling the truth behind her mother’s disappearance—and discovers her mother was a mermaid, awakening magical powers in Coral just as secrets beneath the waves threaten to surface.
