According to its official logline, The Little Mermaid centers on a young mermaid (Halle Bailey), who makes a deal with a sea witch, trading her beautiful voice to get human legs so she can discover the world above water.

It’s a familiar story, loosely based on Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tale, which previously served as the inspiration for Disney’s animated classic from 1989. Its live-action remake has been in development since 2017 when Rob Marshall agreed to direct it, and it will finally premiere on May 26.

The first official trailer gives us glimpses of the film’s plot, showing Ariel saving Prince Eric (Jonah Hauer-King) from a shipwreck. After being scolded by her father King Triton, she makes a dangerous deal with a sea witch Ursula, which will affect everyone around her.

In addition to Bailey and Hauer-King, the remake will also star Javier Bardem as King Triton, Noma Dumezweni as Queen Selina, Melissa McCarthy as Ursula, plus Daveed Diggs, Awkwafina, and Jacob Tremblay in the voice roles.

The Little Mermaid stars Halle Bailey, a young spirited mermaid and the youngest daughter of King Triton. After years of being fascinated with the human world, she strikes a dangerous deal with the sea witch Ursula, and she must sacrifice her life under the sea for a chance to experience life on land that she’s always longed for.

The latest teaser trailer is just 30 seconds long and it sees Bailey performing a snippet from the song “Wish”. In addition to giving us another glimpse of the titular character, the new teaser also introduced us to Jonah Hauer-King as Prince Eric and Melissa McCarthy as Ursula.

The supporting cast of The Little Mermaid will include Javier Bardem, Art Malik, Noma Dumezweni, Lorena Andrea, and Simone Ashley, with Daveed Diggs, Jacob Tremblay, and Awkwafina. Rob Marshall, who found success with musicals Chicago, Into the Woods, and Mary Poppins Returns, was in charge of directing this live-action remake, set to premiere on May 26.

The network’s spokesperson shared a statement saying: “We are postponing the Little Mermaid Live special. We love the idea of doing a live musical and want to make it wonderful. The project is so unique that we are making best efforts to do it next year and want to give it all the attention it deserves.”

The live version of The Little Mermaid has been announced back in May. At the time, Rob Mills, ABC’s head of alternative programming, said: “We really wanted to be in the game as well, and we’re Disney and we have this library that has an endless amount of classic musicals that really play to everyone. But that’s a double-edged sword because you are Disney, you have to do it right. You’ve got to do it so you’re honoring the brand. It took time to find the right take on this.”
