Disney Fans Rejoice! Talks of a Gravity Falls Revival with Alex Hirsch Heating Up
Excitement is brewing in the world of Disney as whispers of a major revival for the beloved cult animated series, Gravity Falls, have emerged. Just ahead of the highly anticipated release of “The Book of Bill”—a fresh perspective on Gravity Falls’ quirky storyline narrated by none other than the extra-dimensional demon Bill Cipher himself—positive hints from within the Disney camp suggest that we may soon see a return to that delightfully eerie town in Oregon.
For those who may not remember, Gravity Falls originally aired on the Disney Channel and later transitioned to Disney XD, captivating audiences with the summer adventures of twins Dipper and Mabel Pines. The duo, voiced by Jason Ritter and Kristen Schaal, respectively, uncover mysteries while staying with their Great Uncle Stan in a town filled with supernatural oddities. Think of it as The X-Files with a quirky and humorous twist. The entire series is available on Disney+, and if you haven’t watched it yet, it’s high time to dive into this treasure trove of monstrous mystery and hilarity.
Series creator Alex Hirsch has had a rocky past with Disney, openly critiquing the network for censoring LGBTQIA+ content. His tweets [source] have shared specific censorship notes from Disney’s standards and practices department, highlighting a tumultuous creative journey. However, it appears that both sides have reached a friendlier footing recently. A senior Disney executive, Meredith Roberts, hinted during an interview with The Direct that conversations with Hirsch about a possible series revival are taking place. She shared, “You know, we’re in conversations with Alex. He’s about to publish a book with Disney on his project. And we also do some shorts. So never say never.”
Since the show’s touching finale in February 2016, Gravity Falls has left fans yearning for more. Disney has already blessed us with three short animations in 2017 and 2020 that, while entertaining, didn’t quite scratch the itch for the deep, mysterious lore we’ve come to love. This new development offers a glimmer of hope that perhaps a new season or special episodes could be on the horizon, extending the mystical world of Gravity Falls further than ever before.
