Disney told Deadline that the show will be a “showcase for today’s most talented young performers, where music, innovation, and self-expression take center stage.”
The Mickey Mouse Club was born out of a stage show created by Walt Disney himself in the late 1920s, but it got its first TV run in the 1950s, when the iconic theme song became a household tune (“M-I-C, K-E-Y, M-O-U-S-E”). It was rebooted in the late 1970s, before a second reboot in 1989 on the Disney Channel. This iteration produced several stars we know and love today. The Disney Channel tried again to reboot the show in 2017 for social media and digital platforms, renaming it Club Mickey Mouse.
This fourth reboot is backed by Fulwell Entertainment, the company behind The Kardashians. Production starts this month in L.A.
