A TV series based on Planet of the Apes is currently in development for Disney Plusaccording to a recent report from Giant Freakin Robot.
When is the Planet of the Apes movie coming out on TV?
The report states that the series is currently shrouded in mystery, and so far its place in the Planet of the Apes franchise timeline is unknown. However, with a new film on the horizon, the report says it’s possible that the series will run concurrently with Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes movie, depending on how fast the project is done.
The report also mentions the fact that the series is reportedly being made Disney Plus in mind. Usually, most of the projects of the 20th Century Fox owned by Disney that are made for adults they find on Hulu, but with the most recent trilogy of movies of the Planet of the Apes that all landing at PG-13 ratings, it’s possible that this new show could also be on the tamer side and not require a stricter rating.
Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is currently in production. The sequel film will star William H. Macy, Owen Teague, Freya Allen, Dichen Lachman, and Peter Macon, among others. The movie is set “many years” after the events of 2017 War for the Planet of the Apes. After Caesar led his people to an oasis, new ape societies grew as humans became more “wild-like.”
“Some groups have never heard of Caesar, while others reject his teachings on building and developing empires,” reads the film’s description. “In this situation, an ape leader begins to enslave other groups to find human technology, while another ape, seeing his family taken away, begins a journey to find freedom. A young woman becomes the key to finding the latter, although she has her own plans.
