Disney Channel Orders Pilot For Action-Comedy Ultra Violet & Blue Demon
According to a recent article in Deadline, the Disney Channel has given a cast-contingent pilot order for UltraViolet & Blue Demon, a superhero coming of age action-comedy from a girls point of view. It stars and is executive produced by Mexican luchador and professional wrestler Blue Demon Jr.
The series is written by Pokemon Detective Pikachu writers Dan Hernandez and Benji Samit. The series will center on 13-year-old Violet who is stunned when a magical luchador mask “chooses” her to be the successor to her uncle- the famed luchador Blue Deamon Jr. What makes this series so great is that Demon Jr. will actually be playing a version of himself (but in the show is also actually a secret superhero!) Violet will begin superhero training while navigating the typical ups and downs of being a teenager.
A cast-contingent pilot means that the go-ahead will be based on casting for the young lead that will star opposite Demon Jr. According to various sources, casting is currently underway in Los Angeles and Mexico. Casting is being supervised by Carla Hool (Disney/Pixar Coco, Narcos.) Once the cast is locked in then the pilot would be produced.
Demon Jr. is the adopted son of the legendary original Blue Demon and is the first Mexican and the second masked wrestler to win the NWA World Heavyweight Championship.
