Directed by Jon M. Chu and Jill Culton, the feature will bring to life the 1990 children’s classic that explores a young adventurer’s journey through life’s highs and lows.

The screenplay is written by Rob Lieber, while original songs are being crafted by songwriting duo Benj Pasek and Justin Paul.

Chu, known for his work on Universal’s Oscar-winning adaptation of Wicked, reunites with Grande, who portrayed Glinda in the film. The second Wicked instalment, Wicked: For Good, is due out this November. 

Josh Gad, widely recognised for voicing Olaf in Disney’s Frozen, will not only star in but also produce Amazon’s Spaceballs 2.

Warner Bros. is investing significantly in Dr. Seuss properties. Prior to Oh, the Places You’ll Go!, The Cat in the Hat—voiced by Bill Hader—is set for release on February 27, 2026.
