‘The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers’ to Premiere on Disney+ in March

The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers is setting flight for Disney+ this spring. The inspiring sports series has set an official March 26 premiere date, the streaming platform announced today.

Along with this morning’s date announcement, Disney+ also shared a first look at the new series, which stars original Mighty Ducks actor Emilio Estevez back in his role as Coach Gordon Bombay, along with Lauren Graham and Brady Noon. The 10-episode series picks up in modern day Minnesota, where the Mighty Ducks team has left their underdog reputation in the past after a string of victories. Now a top-ranked crew of hockey stars, the team cuts 12-year-old Evan Morrow (Noon), who finds his own way to play with the help of his mom, Alex (Graham).

“I want you to think about all of the other kids who have been told that they’re too small or too slow,” Alex tells her son in today’s first look footage. “They just want to get out there and play. Let’s start our own team. All we need is an ice rink.”

So, Evan and Alex enlist in the help of Gordon and the Ice Palace, recruiting other young athletes to learn, train and play the sport they all love. With the help of an inspiring coach, the players create a better team than they ever could have imagined. “You’ve got to make this happen for yourself,” Gordon tells Alex.

Along with Graham, Noon and Estevez, the upcoming series also stars Maxwell Simkins, Swayam Bhatia, Luke Islam, Kiefer O’Reilly, Taegen Burns, Bella Higginbotham and DJ Watts. The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers comes from co-creator Steve Brill of the original Mighty Ducks film franchise, along with Josh Goldsmith and Cathy Yuspa. The new Disney+ series marks the latest Mighty Ducks installment after three movies, plus an NHL franchise.
