Reopening Hollywood North
Coach Bombay and the Quack Attack are Coming Back — Again.
Disney+ suspended production of the series adaption of its hit 1990s The Mighty Ducks movie franchise in mid-March out of coronavirus fears.
The reboot series, with Emilio Estevez back as Coach Bombay, had about a month of filming in the can. Four months later, it’s ready to restart production, with Covid-19 safety protocols.

The reboot is set in present-day Minnesota, where the Mighty Ducks have evolved from scrappy underdogs to an ultra-competitive, powerhouse youth hockey team. After 12-year-old Evan (Brady Noon) is unceremoniously cut from the Ducks, he and his mom Alex (Lauren Graham) set out to build their own ragtag team of misfits to challenge the cutthroat, win-at-all-costs culture of competitive youth sports.
Cast: Emilio Estevez, Lauren Graham, Brady Noon, Swayam Bhatia, Taegen Burns, Julee Cerda, Bella Higginbotham, Luke Islam, Kiefer O’Reilly, Maxwell Simkins, De’Jon Watt.

“’Once a Duck, always a Duck’ and after 25 years, I am delighted to lace up my skates, put on Coach Bombay’s jacket and return to play the iconic character for this new chapter in The Mighty Ducks franchise,” Estevez told Deadline.
