Attention Everyone! We might be visiting 17 Cherry Tree Lane once again, because we are hearing rumors that a Mary Poppins show might just be in the works.

This is one of the most exciting movie and TV rumors we’ve heard in a long time, so let’s get into all of the details we have so far about this new show.

Deadline has shared that a new Mary Poppins TV show is in the works, currently in the very early stages of development. They also shared that in this new adaptation, “rather than retelling the Disney film Mary Poppins starring Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke from the 1960s, we understand the live-action TV adaptation plans to go back to P. L. Travers’ original eight Mary Poppins books and open up the larger, stranger world she created.”

The Mary Poppins books are far more mysterious, magical, dangerous, and even at times slightly frightening, compared to the 1960’s film. The series is set to be produced and developed by Tom Winchester for Pure Fiction Television, after he optioned the rights from the P.L. Travers estate.

This production is still in the early stages of development and in conversations with Disney. Deadline also explained that “Winchester is approaching top-level showrunners. As we understand it, the project doesn’t need Disney’s buy-in from a rights perspective, but there’s hope the studio might want to join the project given their history with the IP. Nothing has been agreed to that effect so far. Things are still at pitch stage.”

We would be so excited if we got to experience a new take on the beloved classic Mary Poppins! We will keep you informed of any other news on this TV series. So stay tuned to Disney Food Blog so you never miss anything!
