The original series premiered on ABC in 1955 and made Annette Funicello a household name. A revival was introduced in 1977, but it was the 1989 revival, The All-New Mickey Mouse Club, that is responsible for the careers of mega stars Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, Ryan Gosling, Keri Russell, Christina Aguilera and JC Chasez.

The cast of Club Mickey Mouse has yet to be announced, but according to CNBC, Disney will “draw from Maker Studios, its in-house multichannel network and talent company.”
