Disney+ Developing ‘Tiana’ Sequel Series
Disney+ is taking the main character from its The Princess and the Frog film and making sequel series entitled Tiana.
Tiana, coming to the streamer in 2023, is a long-form musical-comedy series featuring the extraordinary entrepreneur who’s now princess of the kingdom of Maldonia. The all-new adventure explores both Maldonia and Tiana’s beloved hometown, New Orleans.
Tiana is the first princess to have her own Walt Disney Animation Studios series!
The Oscar-nominated 2009 feature The Princess and the Frog, directed by Ron Clements and John Musker who co-wrote the screenplay along with Rob Edwards, features Tiana (Anika Noni Rose, Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey), a frog prince who desperately wants to be human again, and a fateful kiss that leads them both on a hilarious adventure through the mystical bayous of Louisiana.
In addition to Rose, the cast for the film included Bruno Campos (Nip/Tuck, Royal Pains), Keith David, Michael-Leon Wooley, Jim Cummings, Jennifer Cody, John Goodman, Jenifer Lewis, Terence Howard and Oprah Winfrey.
