Disney+ taps Lauren Graham as coach in The Mighty Ducks reboot

TVLine

The Gilmore Girls and Parenthood alum, who's currently starring on Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist on NBC, will play the coach of a ragtag hockey team in the Disney+ reboot of the 1990s Mighty Ducks film franchise that starred Emilio Estevez. The Mighty Ducks has been given a 10-episode straight-to-series order. Graham will be joined by child actor Brady Noon, who recurred as Tommy Darmody on Boardwalk Empire. According to TVLine, the reboot, also set in Minnesota, will feature a hockey team that has "evolved from scrappy underdogs to an ultra-competitive, powerhouse youth hockey team. After 12-year-old Evan (Noon) is unceremoniously cut from the Ducks, he and his mom Alex (Graham) set out to build their own ragtag team of misfits to challenge the cutthroat, win-at-all-costs culture of competitive youth sports." Steve Brill, who wrote all three films, will be back as co-creator and executive producer.
