Kim Possible live-action movie in development at Disney Channel

Disney Channel is resurrecting one of its most iconic female characters — just as soon as she checks her beeper and returns the call.

A live-action movie based on the animated series Kim Possible is in the works, TVLine has learned. Casting for all roles — including the title character, a high school student who juggles cheerleading and crimefighting — is currently underway.

Original series creators Mark McCorkle and Robert Schooley are penning the script, along with Josh Cagan (The DUFF). McCorkle, Schooley and Zanne Devine (I, Tonya) will executive-produce.

Kim Possible ran on Disney Channel for 87 episodes from 2002 to 2007, additionally spawning two made-for-TV movies — 2003’s Kim Possible: A Sitch in Time and 2005’s Kim Possible Movie: So the Drama.

In other Disney Channel Original Movie news, the network will premiere its new music-and-dance movie ZOMBIES on Friday, Feb. 16 (8/7c). The film stars Milo Manheim and Meg Donnelly (American Housewife).
