Growing Up Disney+ Original Series

Growing Up is going to be new Disney+ series, unlike anything we have seen Disney do before as it will be a docu-series focused on coming of age stories in a 30 minute episode focused on one person and their experience growing up. The other thing that is a bit different here is the amount of episode directors which should really bring a personal approach to each one of these featured people in the episode. This is going to be such a great way for people to get a look at how other people have grown up. We are really looking forward to this show. Growing Up will not only feature interviews but also some cinematic reenactments to show their story.

“Growing Up” is a groundbreaking hybrid docu-series that explores the challenges, triumphs, and complexities of adolescence through ten compelling coming of age stories. The series uses narrative, experimental, and documentary filmmaking to follow one casted individual, ages 18-22, as they tell their story. They represent a wide range of lived experiences, giving audiences emotionally powerful narratives that offer an engaging look at teenage-hood and the diverse social, familial, and internal obstacles young people face on their path to self-discovery and acceptance. Each 30-minute episode features one young person, or “hero,” and their experience growing up. Each episode is anchored by a deeply personal interview that allows our heroes to walk us through their childhood and teenage years. Alongside these interviews, creative cinematic reenactments help bring their major inflection points to life.
