Moana Star Catherine Laga'aia Boards
Intriguing New Disney+ Sci-Fi TV Show
-------------------------------------
Disney+ is developing a new sci-fi adventure TV series that pairs
a rising star with a promising young actor. The project draws
inspiration from a well-known Walt Disney World attraction and
features an unusual time-spanning premise.

As per a Deadline report, Catherine Laga'aia and Deacon Phillippe
are set to star in Spaceship Earth, a new Disney+ pilot. Their
characters have yet to be revealed.

Jason Fuchs and Michael Waldron wrote the pilot for
20th Television. Fuchs will serve as showrunner, while Lee Toland
Krieger will direct. Fuchs, Waldron, Krieger, Adam Fishbach and
Adam Fasullo are executive producers.

What else do we know about Spaceship Earth?
Spaceship Earth's story follows a mission to stop an imminent
global catastrophe that goes wrong. A small group of teenagers
from Earth's past and future must join forces to face a threat
connected to time itself. The plot brings together young
characters from different eras, though the studio has not shared
further details.

The series takes its name from Spaceship Earth, an attraction
inside EPCOT at Walt Disney World. The ride traces the history of
human communication, from early cave paintings to modern
technology. Elaborate sets and Audio-Animatronics figures bring
these historical moments to life during the roughly 16-minute
experience.

The attraction's official description highlights humanity's
progress through communication and innovation. Academy Award
winner Judi Dench narrates the attraction, while Emmy-winning
composer Bruce Broughton created its original orchestral score.

Laga'aia is best known for playing Moana opposite Dwayne Johnson
in Disney's live-action adaptation, released in theaters in July
2026. She previously appeared in Prime Video's The Lost Flowers of
Alice Hart and will lead the thriller Crashout. Meanwhile,
Phillippe recently wrapped his first leading role in the indie
drama Brother Save Us and is working on Netflix's adaptation of
Better Than the Movies, based on Lynn Painter's young adult novel.
