Although a pilot episode was already filmed, Disney officially cancelled a spin-off series of one of its most popular original shows. The Disney Channel continues to produce original content on its television network, something that the brand has utilized for decades now. In some cases, Disney has brought back characters from shows that first came out in the 1990s or 2000s, rebooting franchises in the modern era.
Alice in the Palace, a spin-off of Raven's Home, has been officially cancelled by Disney. The show was supposed to continue the overarching story that was told in That's So Raven and Raven's Home, but Disney decided to pull the plug on the upcoming series even though a pilot was already filmed.
According to Mykal-Michelle Harris, who portrayed Raven Baxter's younger cousin, Nia Baxter-Carter, in Raven's Home, Disney ultimately chose not to continue production on the series following the pilot being filmed. In an Instagram post to commemorate filming the pilot, Harris confirmed the project's cancellation while also thanking the cast and crew:
"Everyone has been asking soooo…I want to say thank you so very much to EVERY SINGLE PERSON who worked on my very own pilot that I not only played the titular character on… but also played opposite myself as another character (Alice and Clementine) AND was a PRODUCER on. It was for sure a dream come true to make 'Alice in the Palace.' Ultimately, Disney Channel decided to take the strategy in a different direction that did not include our show."
Alice in the Palace was first announced in May 2024 when it was confirmed that Raven's Home would be ending after six seasons. The series was supposed to follow Harris's Nia Baxter-Carter returning to England after the events of Raven's Home.
Raven-Symoné, the star of That's So Raven and Raven's Home, was going to be credited as an executive producer on the series. It is also worth mentioning that she was set to direct the Disney Channel spin-off as part of a multiyear deal she signed with Disney Branded Television.
