For those that don’t know, the “Witch Mountain” franchise started in 1975 with the film “Escape to Witch Mountain,” which was about two orphans with psychic powers who turn out to be aliens. Two sequels followed with the theatrically released “Return to Witch Mountain” in 1978 and the made-for-television “Beyond Witch Mountain” in 1982. A made-for-tv remake starring Elisabeth Moss was released in 1995 titled “Disney’s Escape to Witch Mountain,” and then a theatrical remake came out called “Race to Witch Mountain” in 2009 starring Dwayne Johnson.
Deadline reported that a “Witch Mountain” series was in development in March 2021, and Variety has not only confirmed that the show is officially a go at Disney+, but added that Bryce Dallas Howard is set to play Audrey in the modern reimagining of the source material. The plot follows two teens as they realize they have strange powers in a suburban community that isn’t as normal as it appears. Howard’s character, on the surface, looks like a normal devoted mom of one of the teens, but like the neighborhood, she also has some secrets of her own.
The “Witch Mountain” series is one of many projects Disney+ has on the roster involving Bryce Dallas Howard. She has also lent her incredible voice acting skills to the Star Wars animated series “Tales of the Jedi” as Yaddle, and she will soon be directing another remake of a classic Disney-owned property with “The Flight of the Navigator.”
