Disney+ continues with its revivals and is preparing to bring back one of the most iconic, most beloved animated series from the 90s, Doug, almost 25 years after it's ending with Doug's 1st Movie in 1999. Originally premiering on Nickelodeon in 1991, Doug became one of the great animated productions of the time, being part of a golden generation for the network. The story focuses on the titular teenager, a shy and unpopular boy, but with a great imagination, who finds himself madly in love with one of his classmates, Patricia "Patti" Mayonnaise. The series focuses on Doug's experience as a teenager, his friendships, his relationship with his family and his first love.
The series was always highly praised by critics, which led the franchise to expand to the world of comic books, video games and even a stage play titled Doug Live!, which ran from 1999 to 2001. Therefore, now that Disney+ is bringing back so many hits from the past, it's no surprise that Doug is joining the roster.
Now, speaking with Tenn Buick, Doug's creator Jim Jinkis revealed that a sequel series is currently in early development at Disney+. The show will follow the kids of Doug and Patti, no doubt in a format similar to that of the original series.
