Emilio Estevez will not be returning for Season 2 of The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers on Disney+.

According to a source close to the production, Estevez’s departure is due to a disagreement over ABC Signature’s COVID-19 vaccination requirement, as he would not confirm that he would comply with the policy.

The studio decided not to renew his contract for Season 2.

Under the recent return-to-work agreement between studios and unions, production for The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers requires vaccination against COVID-19 for all actors and crew members who come into contact with them

It is unclear exactly how Estevez’s character will be written off of the show.

Disney had no comment on his departure.
