    Aquamarine Returns: From Cult Classic to Disney+ Series
    Jun 3 2026

    In this episode of The Greenlight Report, we dive into the exciting return of Aquamarine, the beloved 2006 fantasy film that captured the hearts of a generation. Originally starring Emma Roberts and Sara Paxton, the movie followed two best friends who helped a stranded mermaid prove that true love exists.

    Now, Disney+ is bringing the franchise back with a fresh television adaptation currently filming in North Carolina. Rather than retelling the original story, the new series follows a young girl who discovers she is part mermaid, opening the door to a deeper exploration of identity, family, and self-discovery. We discuss the creative vision behind the project, including the involvement of director Jesse Peretz and writer Sarah Watson, and how the series aims to deliver a more serialized, character-driven narrative for modern audiences.

    We'll also explore the production's impact on North Carolina's growing film industry, the financial incentives supporting regional filmmaking, and the enduring legacy of Aquamarine as a cult favorite. Join us as we examine how a cherished coming-of-age fantasy is being reimagined for a new generation of viewers.
