Disney Reportedly Orders Artemis Fowl Animated Series
Published October 12, 2026
Disney has reportedly greenlit an animated television series based on the Artemis Fowl book franchise for Disney Channel and Disney+, according to reports from New York Comic Con. Author Eoin Colfer reportedly announced the development on Sunday, October 11, 2026, during a panel celebrating the 25th anniversary of the first novel. As of Monday, October 12, 2026, Disney has not published an official press release confirming the pickup, though creative leads have reportedly joined the project.
Colfer is attached as an executive producer alongside Ben Juwono (Marvel’s Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur) and Colleen Evanson (DuckTales, Monsters at Work). According to panel reports, Colfer will collaborate directly on the storytelling and lore to expand on the original novels.
The series will adapt the fantasy novels following teenage mastermind Artemis Fowl, who discovers an underground society of armed, technologically advanced fairies. The property previously received a live-action feature film adaptation that debuted directly on Disney+ in 2020.
Ayo Davis, president of Disney Kids & Family, reportedly stated that the goal of the animated adaptation is to introduce new audiences to the world of Artemis Fowl while remaining faithful to longtime readers of the books, which have sold more than 35 million copies worldwide.
