Quinn and Craig Nelson, and is currently available to stream on Disney Plus. According to Deadline, the film was a box office hit, grossing $71 million on a $13 million budget. It also became an enduring pop culture staple, getting frequent references in other movies and TV shows. In the works for the Disney service are a live-action Star Wars series, new episodes of the animated Star Wars series Clone Wars, a live-action version of  Lady and the Tramp  and new series related to the  _High School Musical_  and Monsters Inc. movies. Coming up are a TV series based on the Fox movie Love, Simon and a  _Lizzy McGuire_ revival, with a slew of other reboots in the works. Nix is coming off the Marvel series  _The Gifted_  at Fox, which ran for two seasons. His credits as a writer and executive producer include Fox’s APB and The Good Guys and USA’s Complications.
