Gad, who was set to serve as showrunner alongside Once Upon a Time creators Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz, has a packed schedule with a central voice role in Apple’s animated comedy Central Park and a starring part in Peacock’s Wolf Like Me. It’s unclear if the current cast will be able to return when and if a new timeline opens up. The news comes days after Disney+ announced that British pop star Rita Ora was set to join the cast of the series, which also was to feature Fra Fee and Jelani Alladin. Still, Disney decided against postponing the current timeline because of weather constraints in the U.K., as sources note few wanted the cheery musical to be filmed in gloomy weather. The pandemic, it’s worth noting, has made scheduling a considerable challenge as actors, writers, directors and factors like soundstage and location availability was turned upside down following the industrywide production shutdown in 2020. With the window of availability shrinking, Disney+ has opted to put the series on hold for the time being. Scheduling challenges with the cast also are a factor as some talent had hard outs for other projects beginning in August. Sources note that some creative elements were not far enough along to accommodate that timeline. Production on the show was set to begin this spring but was pushed to the summer in Europe in a bid to film in beautiful weather. ESPN, Disney+ to Present 'Toy Story'-fied Animated NFL Telecast
