# **Facebook Meta Interviews Baobab Studios CEO Maureen Fan Where She Gives Small Update On The Witchverse And InterCats.** Facebook Meta interviewed Baobab Studios CEO **Maureen Fan** , during the interview Fan confirmed that “THE WITCHVERSE” and “INTERCATS” are still happening and are coming to Disney+ **That’s very interesting. So what are your thoughts—I’m curious about the current transition we’re seeing from fully immersive VR to these more hybrid mixed reality experiences. Is that a space that you’re interested in exploring? Do you think you’ll stick with fully immersive VR and then also the non-VR adaptations that you mentioned, the books, the comics, games, and films? I’m just curious how you’re thinking about that?** > **MF:** A lot of the projects that we’re doing right now start off as one medium and move to another. For example, _Momoguro_ was a line of Roblox games and now it’s a TV show. And _Baba Yaga_ was originally an Oculus exclusive, and then now, it’s a TV series with Disney+. **Oh, cool. I hadn’t heard that.** > **MF:** Yeah, we’re really excited. We’re turning it into a witch anthology series—like the world of witches. And then _Intercats_ , we originated that as a graphic novel series with Macmillan, and now it’s becoming a TV show at Disney+.
