‘Holes’: Gender-Swapped Reboot Pilot Not Going Forward At Disney+

'Holes' (Inset) Greg Kinnear, Aidy Bryant and Shay Rudolph Everett/Jill Greenberg/Alexa Viscius/Getty Disney+ is not proceeding with its pilot Holes, a reimagining of Louis Sachar’s 1998 novel and the 2003 Disney movie adaptation with a female lead. Shay Rudolph (The Baby-Sitters Club) led the cast of the pilot, which also included Greg Kinnear and Aidy Bryant. Expectations were high for the project, from Disney Branded Entertainment, with one of the tax credits awarded to Disney in August earmarked for the potential series.
