Variety is reporting that The Walt Disney Company is working on Book of Enchantments, a TV adaptation of its Villains book series, which is being produced for the upcoming Disney+ streaming service.
The series will be based upon Serena Valentino’s Villains books, and will explore the origins of some of Disney’s most iconic baddies, including Sleeping Beauty’s Maleficent, The Little Mermaid’s Ursula, and Snow White’s Wicked Queen.
