Hey everyone –
I know you have been waiting a long time for an update about the Spy School movie — and I am sure this is not what you were hoping for. It’s certainly not what I was hoping for.
After 54 weeks of doing nothing with the movie script, Disney decided that they were not going to move forward with the Spy School movie.
Why? I don’t really have a great answer for that. I was told that Disney had some concerns with the story involving kids in real danger — which you’d think they would have been able to figure out was part of the plot long ago, given the title.
Sadly, this kind of thing happens a lot in Hollywood. As I keep saying, it is very hard to get a movie made.
This does not mean the movie will never get made. My agents can now try to set the project up at another movie studio or streaming service. We will see what happens.

Most likely it will be live action. If it happens. But no one is ruling out animation.
Hi, I am a huge fan of your series Spy School. I was really thinking about why Spy School is so popular but you never made a movie on it. All my friends read Spy School. I was really hoping for a movie
Please I love spy school one of the best books I’ve read

No one wants a movie of SS more than I do. I have been trying to get one made since 2012.
Hello! Mr.Gibbs, will you consider a tour in NYC, and particularly visit the school PS122 Mamie fay in queens? It would be very cool!
number one fan –
A school has to invite me for me to visit it. Please share my School Visits page with your school librarian.
In the meantime, I will be having an event at Books of Wonder in NYC in April, as noted in the Upcoming Events box on every page of this website.
Hi I looooovveeee ur books my favorite series is the space case series but I also love spy school I have read all of your books and my fav character in spy school is Erica I would be her but I would be better at being Zoe but u should make another space case book but where dash can meet Ben by going back in time as a new super power he learns from Zan and thank you for writing good books!!
Haha I think its awesome that this page still gets comments frequently. I’ve been waiting for a spy school movie since middle school and now I am 18. At this rate if I ever become a multi-millionaire, I’ll just commission the movie myself. Hoping that someday this gets picked up lol good luck SG

I do plan to tour for both Spy School Goes East and Spy School Secret Files, but those details are still being worked out. I do not know if Denver will be on the schedule, but I will post all events on every page of this website.
Hi Mr. Stuart Gibbs, I really like your books, and I saw the bad news about spy school, but have your agents found a different studio yet? I would love for there to be a movie/movies. Everyone loves this series 🙂

I hope there will be good news on the movie / TB front top announce soon.
Hey Mr Gibbs,
I just finished reading Spy School Blackout—great book, btw. I feel like you’d secretly like Drake, but idk for sure. If you don’t love Drizzy, what music do you like?
Gabe Itch
There is a great deal of music that I like. Except maybe bagpipes.
Hey Mr Gibbs, is it still possible the movie may come out, or is it not a possibility anymore? Was really hyped for a movie on spy school

It is certainly possible that a movie might get made at some point. I hope to be able to share good news about that soon.
Hi Mr Gibbs I’m a huge fan of this series and I never want to stop reading this. I really hope that you can get a movie going. Please don’t end the series
Lucas
I have no plans to end the series any time soon
