An Aquamarine TV pilot is in the works!

On Thursday (June 25), Deadline reported that Disney+ ordered a pilot episode for a new series based on the 2006 teen fantasy rom-com that starred Sara Paxton, Emma Roberts, and JoJo.

In the movie, Emma and JoJo played teenage best friends, “who embark on the adventure of their lives when they discover a mermaid named Aquamarine in a swimming pool.”
