5 DCOMs That Deserve a Revival

1. Halloweentown: With "Halloweentown 3" now streaming on Disney+, it's evident that the platform is capitalizing on the nostalgia of classic Disney Channel Original Movies (DCOMs). While fans may be protective of these beloved films, there are still numerous new storytellers and original concepts worth exploring. Despite this, there are several DCOMs that could benefit from a revival in 2026.

One such film is "Halloweentown," featuring Kimberly J. Brown as Marnie and Emily Roeske as Sophie. To bring this beloved series back, Brown's return as the titular character is a must, along with Roeske's potential return as Sophie. The inclusion of Debbie Reynolds as Grandma Aggie would also be a wonderful addition, as her role in the series was one of her finest performances in her later career.

While a full trilogy is perhaps not necessary, a revival of this magical series is certainly worth considering.

2. Twitches: Another DCOM that could use a revival is "Twitches." The premise of this film, starring Tia and Tamera Mowry as twin witches separated at birth, has proven to be a hit with audiences. With both actresses expressing interest in a potential sequel, there is now an exciting opportunity to reunite the stars and delve deeper into their powers and adventures.

However, it is crucial that the script remains true to the original films' spirit, as they have become cherished classics. Additionally, a new song by Aly & AJ would be a delightful touch to bring a fresh energy to the movie. At almost 20 years since the last sequel, "Twitches" has ample time to capture the hearts of new generations and reignite its magic.

3. Zenon: Girl of the 21st Century: While it may be a bit premature to revive the film "Zenon: Girl of the 21st Century" given the futuristic setting it portrays, the possibility remains intriguing. The movie, starring Kirsten Storms as Zenon, follows the young teenage heroine as she navigates life on a space station orbiting Earth.

When Zenon gets grounded—literally—she must endure the consequences of her actions and confront the billionaire funding the station, who is intentionally sabotaging it to collect insurance money. Although the movie's futuristic world may seem outdated, it is worth considering a modernized adaptation with an updated vision of the future.

With Proto Zoa's fresh perspective, a fourth installment could inject new energy and excitement into the series.
