Development

[edit]

On June 16, 2023, it was reported that an Inside Out television series was being developed by Pixar for Disney+; the series was reportedly being developed as part of an effort by Disney to increase Pixar's output. Mike Jones, who previously wrote Soul (2020) and Luca (2021) for the studio, was set to develop the series.[3] The series was being developed simultaneously with a sequel to the original film, titled Inside Out 2 (2024).[4] By May 2024, the series had been titled Dream Productions.[5]

In August 2024, Jones revealed he would executive produce the series, as well as serve as director alongside Valerie LaPointe and Austin Madison, with Jaclyn Simon as producer.[6][third-party source needed] Paula Pell was also confirmed to reprise her role as Dream Director from the first film to star as the main protagonist in the series.[7][8]

Writing

[edit]

The series is set between the events of Inside Out and Inside Out 2.[9] Pixar chief creative officer and Inside Out director Pete Docter said the series would explore "the power of dreams and how they affect us in our waking life".[10]

Music

[edit]

On September 24, 2024, Nami Melumad was revealed to be composing for the series.[11]
