A new Disney princess might be getting the live-action treatment soon: Princess Tiana, from 2009's The Princess and the Frog .
'The Odyssey' sails towards a record-breaking opening weekend
On Friday, Deadline reported that Emmy and Oscar nominee Colman Domingo ( Euphoria , Sing Sing ) and Tony-nominated director Robert O'Hara ( Slave Play ) are in talks to co-write a live-action film centered on Tiana.
Originally voiced by Anika Noni Rose, Tiana is a determined waitress from New Orleans who hopes to one day open her own restaurant.
Her grand plan gets derailed when she's turned into a frog alongside Maldonia's cursed Prince Naveen (voiced by Bruce Campos).
So begins an adventure through the Louisiana bayou, with the two eventually falling in love.
By the end of the film, the pair return to their human forms and get married.
That's not all: Tiana's dreams finally come true with the grand opening of her restaurant, Tiana's Palace.
However, Domingo and O'Hara's film, still in extremely early days, reportedly won't just be a live-action retread of The Princess and the Frog , the way most of Disney's live-action projects are.
Instead, it is set to be an original spin-off story, similar to Beauty and the Beast spin-off Gaston , also in development.
The original take on a beloved character could be just what Disney needs as it continues with its live-action projects. 2026's Moana and 2025's Snow White both floundered at the box office, suggesting audiences are growing tired with the constant remakes of classics.
However, 2025's Lilo & Stitch did earn over $1 billion, so the appetite for live-action versions of certain properties remains.
