Disney orders sci-fi TV show based off of EPCOT's big goofy Spaceship Earth ball

That, of course, is the official name for the ride that occupies the big geodesic sphere that most people uninfected by the Disney Person Virus just refer to as EPCOT, located in Disney’s Florida parks since the 1980s. (And with its visions of the past and future of communication occasionally updated to feature the likes of Walter Cronkite, Jeremy Irons, and, in the current incarnation that’s been running since 2007, Judi Dench.) Now it’ll serve as the basis for a just-greenlit TV show headed up by IT: Welcome To Derry‘s Jason Fuchs, of all people, with Deadline reporting that Fuchs is now working on a show that we’re going to go ahead and assume will feature 100 percent less murder clowns or horrific monster birthings than his last TV offering.

Fuchs will be teaming up on the show with another recent TV heavy hitter: Michael Waldron, the former Rick And Morty producer who helmed the first season of Disney+’s Loki show. (And, more recently, the fantastical world of Hulu’s Chad Powers, the show that dares to ask whether audiences will believe a Cybertruck owner can be only kind of a total douchebag.) The series logline suggests it’ll be tapping into Waldron’s sci-fi and time traveling roots pretty heavily: “When a mission to avert an imminent global cataclysm goes awry, a small band of teenagers from Earth’s past and future must join forces to confront a threat as vast and mysterious as time itself.” Will solving this problem involve interacting with a very shiny structure that looks like an 180-foot tall golf ball? No clue, but it’ll sure seem like a missed opportunity if they don’t.
