EXCLUSIVE: Three have joined Disney+‘s Spaceship Earth pilot to fill out remaining series regular roles: Up-and-comers Maeve Touhey, Ta’imua, and Freddie O’Donahue, who are set to star alongside the previously announced Catherine Laga’aia and Deacon Phillippe.
Character details are being kept under wraps.
The NYC-based Touhey makes her acting debut on the pilot, in which a mission to avert an imminent global cataclysm goes awry, leading a small band of teenagers from Earth’s past and future to join forces to confront a threat as vast and mysterious as time itself.
Inspired by the Disney World EPCOT attraction of the same name, the pilot is written by Jason Fuchs (IT: Welcome to Derry) and Michael Waldron (Loki) and hails from 20th Television. Fuchs is showrunning and exec producing via Five Ten Productions, alongside Waldron, pilot director Lee Toland Krieger, Adam Fishbach of Fishbach Productions, and Adam Fasullo of Anomaly Pictures.
Known in music as Maeve, Touhey has built a growing international fanbase, earning airplay on SiriusXM Hits 1, and is preparing to release her debut project. She is repped by Gersh, Hyphenate, Dawns Managment and Hansen Jacobson.
The Hawaii-based Ta’imua most recently starred in the 2026 Oscar-nominated short, Jane Austen’s Period Drama. He’s also appeared in Apple’s Truth Be Told and ABC’s Doctor Odyssey. He is repped by Buchwald, M88, and Auckland Actors.
O’Donahue will next year be seen starring alongside Kate Burton and Michael Gaston in A Great Depression, as well as taking on the lead role in the thriller Bullies Anonymous, opposite Robyn Lively and Bill Sage. Raised in New York City by British parents, he is repped by The Michael Abrams Group and Insurge-Ent.
