'Lady & the Tramp' Reboot Lands First Actress - Find Out Who It Is!

Disney’s Lady and the Tramp remake has found its first cast member!

Ashley Jensen has signed on for the reboot of the beloved cartoon, which originally premiered in 1955, Deadline reports.

Known for her roles in Extras, Ugly Betty, and Sherlock Gnomes, Ashley will have a supporting role as the voice of Scottish Terrier Jackie (Jock in the original film), a loyal friend to Lady.

The Lego Ninjago Movie director Charlie Bean will helm the CGI and live-action re-imagining, a priority project for the studio’s as-yet-untitled streaming service set to launch in late 2019. Rather than playing in theaters, the film will be an exclusive to the service, which will feature film and TV content from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, and Lucasfilm.

Lady and the Tramp could potentially start production later this year.
