Rob Letterman And Hilary Winston Set As Showrunners With Steven Spielberg As Executive Producers**.\n\nWhat if the two biggest animation powerhouses in recent years which brought us many beloved animated movies worked together for a live-action/animated project……. that would give us a good scare. **Casper the Friendly Ghost** will get the live-action series treatment with a brand new live-action/animation hybrid series, the project was part of a in a competitive bidding war with multiple streaming services with Disney+ winning the bid.\n\nRob Letterman and Hilary Winston, who executive produce Disney+’s “Goosebumps” series, as well as Steven Spielberg will serve as Executive Producers for this new series.\n\n> There are no details yet about the new  _Casper,_ described as a modern update on the classic ghost story, which is in the early stages of development. It is believed to have a dark edge to it the way  _Wednesday_ tackles the Addams Family lore.\n>\n> Letterman and Winston are writing, with Letterman set to direct. The duo are executive producing with Spielberg.\n\nThe series is produced by UCP, a division of Universal Studio Group, as well as**DreamWorks Animation Television** in association with **Disney Branded Television**. This is a rare Disney+ series project based on famous IP that is not from within the Disney ecosystem or derived from books. If  _Caspe_ r goes to series it will be the first time Dreamworks and Disney will work together on a project much ironic since Dreamworks was created by Jeffrey Katzenberg and Steven Spielberg to create a rival to Disney.\n\nIn 2001, Harvey Entertainment was acquired by Classic Media. In 2012, Classic Media was bought by DreamWorks Animation, which in turn was acquired by Universal Pictures parent NBCUniversal in 2016, explaining why the potential Disney+ series is a co-production between DreamWorks Animation TV and UCP.",
