Joe and Anthony Russo have decided to adapt Superfudge for Disney+. The animated film based on the best-selling children’s novel by Judy Blume, revolves around the sibling rivalry that a twelve-year-old boy develops with his new younger siblings.

The film follows young Peter Hatcher on a quest across New York City after he’s left to take care of his three-year-old brother, Farley “Fudge” Hatcher, who eventually runs away. The first part of the animated film is set to unite the two siblings in the adventure, while the second part will see both of them dealing with unexpected trouble: the arrival of a baby sister at the house. 

The story will be adapted for the screen by Amos Vernon and Nunzio Randazzo, famous for penning Hotel Transylvania: Transformania and Future Husbands.

Apart from this project, Disney+ has also ordered a series adaptation of Disney-Hyperion novel Paola Santiago and the River of Tears by Kevin Rodriguez, to be produced by Desperate Housewives-fame Eva Longoria. The critically acclaimed children's book will be adapted into a fantasy-adventure TV series highlighting Latin heritage and mother-daughter relationships.
