The Cheaper by the Dozen franchise dates back to 1950, but it was revitalized in 2003 with a new film that starred Steve Martin and Bonnie Hunt as the parents of the gigantic family. A sequel was released in 2005, with Martin and Hunt coming back. The original film's director, Shawn Levy, is attached as a producer on the Disney+ film.
The two Cheaper by the Dozen films released in theatres combined to make more than $320 million at the global box office. The third film will be measured differently, however, as it's a streaming film for Disney+.
In other news, the first trailer for the Disney+ remake of The Mighty Ducks has been released.
