Disney Branded Television Greenlights Disney Junior’s Ariel

Among a series of announcements from Disney Branded Television and Disney Europe, Middle East & Africa (EMEA) is news of a greenlight for Disney Junior’s Ariel, an animated musical show for preschoolers inspired by The Little Mermaid.

Disney Junior’s Ariel follows 8-year-old mermaid princess Ariel as she and her friends embark on underwater adventures throughout their Caribbean-inspired kingdom of Atlantica and beyond. The series is currently in production for a 2024 release across Disney platforms worldwide.

For Disney Channel, StuGo is an original animated series about six overambitious middle schoolers who are tricked into attending a fake academic summer camp by a mad scientist. Now they’re stuck for three months on a wild tropical island with mind-reading manatees, giant fighting fungi and fashion-forward mutants—less academia.

Disney EMEA revealed for Disney+ Magicampers, which follows the adventures of best friends Darly and Loomis at a day camp for magical creatures on a fantastical island, and the original comedy-mystery series The Sunnyridge 3, about a trio of lifelong best friends who investigate strange goings-on in a uniquely bizarre shopping center on the fringes of suburban London.

Series renewals include Chip ‘n’ Dale: Park Life, Marvel’s Spidey and his Amazing Friends, Firebuds, The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder and Kiff.
