Awful Announcing
"A senior Disney official cited Mr. Rice’s decision to renew two struggling shows on the Disney+ streaming service—“The Mighty Ducks” and “Big Shot”—as examples of questionable deal-making. Both shows cost more than $50 million and neither had shown the type of success that merited additional seasons."
Estevez says "My exit from the show was due to a myriad of creative differences – any other narrative is false," but he doesn't actually address if he met the vaccine mandate that would have been required for him to continue on the show.
Deadline's Nellie Andreeva reported ABC Signature "made the decision not to pick up Estevez’s option for Season 2 after weeks of back and forth with his team over the show’s Covid vaccination requirement."
There's more The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers on the way, with production on the second season expected to start early in 2022.
Original trilogy screenwriter Steven Brill and original producer Jordan Kerner are involved in the planned Mighty Ducks TV series.
