Because nothing is sacred, Darkwing Duck reboot in the works at Disney+ with Seth Rogen

In little more than a year, the world was gifted 91 episodes of Darkwing Duck. The animated action series originally aired on weekday afternoons on The Disney Channel from September 1991 to December 1992. (Episodes also aired Saturday mornings on ABC for those of us who grew up without cable.) In many ways, Darkwing Duck was a parody ahead of its time, with a central hero who has more in common with the self-centered supers on The Boys than with the altruistic heroes of classic comics. “Darkwing Duck cut through all the existential and dramatic crap with a character who rarely pretended to have any investment in the safety of his hometown or the world at large,” our Kevin Johnson wrote while celebrating Darkwing’s 25th anniversary in 2016. Apparently the powers that be at Disney+ have decided the series was appropriate for our current time as well—first adding it to the streaming service’s library, and now reportedly rebooting it with the help of Seth Rogen.
