‘The Spiderwick Chronicles’: the new series of protagonists has been defined

According to a report by Deadline, Lyon Daniels (“We Can Be Heroes”) and Noah Cottrell (“Gordita Chronicles”) will be Jared and Simon Grace, the protagonists of “The Spiderwick Chronicles” series.

Remember that the show is in development on Disney +, and that it is the new adaptation of the acclaimed work of Tony DiTerlizzi and Holly Back. It should be noted that in the 2008 feature film, the twin brothers were played by Freddie Highmore.

In the post, we see that Jared is the adventurous, intelligent and impulsive twin brother who has been troubled by anger issues. Simon, on the other hand, is thoughtful and more rational, as well as an animal lover. In other words, the antithesis of Jared in just about everything.

Another point is that the twins have been inseparable since birth and have even developed their own special language, but resentments are growing, threatening to sever their brotherly bond.

Christian Slater (“Mr. Robot”) also starred in “The Spiderwick Chronicles,” an upcoming Disney+ series adaptation based on the literary saga of Holly Black and Tony DiTerlizzi.
