Jackson, Ali Selim, Kyle Bradstreet and Brian Tucker. Kyle Bradstreet is also the head writer, and Jennifer L. Booth, Allana Williams and Brant Englestein serve as co-executive producers.

Now, Game of Thrones star Emilia Clarke is reportedly in final negotiations to join them. Clarke is no stranger to the Disney world, having previously starred in Solo: A Star Wars Story.
