"The Mysterious Benedict Society is a beautifully executed adaptation of the celebrated and beloved book series," said Dana Walden, Chairman of Entertainment, Walt Disney Television. "It's original, clever and fun for the whole family, which makes it the perfect fit for Disney+. One of the great benefits to creators working with our company is that we have a platform that's right for every series, and having seen the first few episodes of this show, there is no better home for it than Disney+."
