Terrace also stated the lore of the series is "70 percent made up", with writers also drawing inspiration from books about witchcraft for spells and character names, to add depth to its lore. According to Terrace, the hardest decision when creating the series was whether to implement potential lore elements in the series. Terrace said that the general lore for the series was inspired by art and storybooks by Hieronymus Bosch. Terrace is the fourth woman to create a series for Disney Television Animation, after Pepper Ann with Sue Rose, Doc McStuffins with Chris Nee, and Star vs. The series was greenlit alongside Amphibia in 2018 and was set originally for a 2019 release, but it was delayed for a 2020 release. In 2018, it was reported that Dana Terrace, previously a storyboard artist for Gravity Falls and later a director on the 2017 DuckTales reboot, was creating and executive-producing an animated series, titled The Owl House, for Disney Television Animation. While working on DuckTales, Terrace didn't feel "fulfilled artistically or emotionally", so she began to research influences and work from her college years, eventually rediscovering the works of artists such as Hieronymus Bosch and Remedios Varo, inspiring her to create a show for Disney that features strong surreal visual elements. Episodes ĭana Terrace first began conceiving early ideas for a series about a girl learning to be a witch in late 2016. In the second season, directly following the end of the first season, the main characters work together to return Luz to the Human Realm, help Eda confront her curse, and search for the truth about King’s past while contending with Emperor Belos and his minions, who are preparing for the mysterious Day of Unity. Despite not having magical abilities, Luz pursues her dream of becoming a witch by serving as Eda's apprentice at the Owl House and ultimately finds a new family in an unlikely setting. The series centers on Luz Noceda, a teenage Dominican-American human girl who accidentally stumbles into the Demon Realm, where she arrives at the Boiling Isles, an archipelago formed from the remains of a dead Titan, and befriends the rebellious witch Eda Clawthorne, also known as "The Owl Lady", and her adorable demon housemate King.
The series also won an award for Children's & Youth Programming at the 2021 Peabody Awards. The Owl House has received widespread critical acclaim by both critics and audiences and has become particularly notable for its LGBTQIA+ representation compared to other Disney media, including becoming the first Disney property to feature a same-sex couple in leading roles, a same-sex kiss involving lead characters as well as a non-binary character.
