There have been rumors for years, but is something finally happening for cult Disney cartoon Gravity Falls? New reports suggest fans can be hopeful.
That might seem like a lot of time, but the show only ever producedtwo seasons, with fans left wanting more. Now, reports suggest reboot “conversations” are happening, possibly putting an end to years of rumors.
According to The Direct, thestreaming serviceis “hopeful” that Gravity Falls will get the return that many feel it deserves.
“You know, we’re in conversations with Alex [Hirsch]. He’s about to publish a book with Disney on his project. And we also do some shorts. So never say never,”explainedExecutive Vice President of Television Animation and Disney Branded Television Meredith Roberts.
“There are so many shows that go on endlessly until they lose their original spark or mysteries that are canceled before they ever get a chance to pay off.”
Currently, its two seasons are available to stream on Disney Plus, with Hirsch writing his book in the meantime, alongside other non-televised stories linked to the series.
Unsurprisingly, Roberts’ comments have reunited speculation, but many are divided over whetherGravity FallsSeason 3 would even work.
“If Alex has an idea then I’m interested. If this is just ‘for the sake of it’ then I’d rather it not,” onepostedon Reddit, with a second agreeing, “The only way I would be okay with this is if they give him FULL control over everything and let him cook.”
