On May 27, 2026, the documentary 'What's the Story, Wishbone?' will debut, delving into the PBS series 'Wishbone,' which ran from 1995 to 1997. Directed by Joey Stewart and produced by Novel Tails, the film incorporates archival footage along with interviews from the cast and creators, shedding light on the challenges faced during production, such as tight schedules and historical set designs.
