Disney has announced Oswald, a three-part Disney Plus miniseries due in February 2027, giving Oswald the Lucky Rabbit his first major starring role in decades. The news is significant for fans of Epic Mickey and Disney history because Oswald predates Mickey Mouse but was long neglected after Disney lost ownership of the character.

Written, co-directed and produced by Jon Favreau, the series will combine live action and animation and follow Oswald after he escapes into the real world following an earthquake. Kathryn Hahn, Ryder Allen, Albert Brooks, Ravi Cabot-Conyers, Mykal-Michelle Harris and Al Madrigal are confirmed to appear; the show premieres on 17 February 2027, nearly a century after Oswald’s debut in Trolley Troubles.
