That show isn't going to be lost though as Disney wasn't the one that made the series, it was actually developed by Paramount so they're shopping the series around to other platforms, which makes sense, I think it'll fit well on Netflix or Amazon Prime. A British show Nautilus that was also meant for Disney Plus overseas also got cancelled before it aired, not sure if that will air on a UK channel like Sky or not.
Indeed it is being shopped around, my post is a "maybe" in case it isn't picked up for whatever reason OR if it's picked up but major changes are made to it for whatever reason and it morphs into a different project, like with what happened to The New Mutants by Disney (like I mentioned, barring a miracle, we will never see the original version of that movie ever).
So far, no news of cancellations on Disney+ Percy Jackson or Eragon. Sadly no further news on Redwall, I assume either in development hell or cancelled. Bone was cancelled by Netflix formally, much as it was cancelled by Nickelodeon years ago, who knows what pieces might be lying around as we speak.
I also wanted to post about the writers/actors' strikes since that will likely affect future YA productions.
I don't recall hearing anything about New Mutants being changed, I heard reshoots for it were planned but ultimately scrapped.

I heard from one of the writers of it at a convention that the whole movie had to be very heavily edited very last minute.

interesting, did he say what was changed?
Basically the movie was much darker, bloodier, and had a bunch of extra disturbing material in characters (expanded) backstories. It was a straight horror film. But Disney told them very last minute that they wanted a more "lighthearted, more super-hero-y" movie and then the cast and crew were given like barely a month to re-edit/redo a basically fully finished movie. And the original cut will now be lost media forever, of course barring a miracle.
News on the Narnia adaptation. Still on track apparently, though it is rumored that anything we get from it will not come out until 2025 at the earliest. Greta Gerwig attached, not sure if anyone else was attached earlier and/or if any sample art, music, footage, etc. from any earlier version (s) exists.
