Disney Junior Orders More Fancy Nancy Ahead of Premiere

Disney Junior has ordered a second season of Fancy Nancy ahead of its series debut.

Based on the New York Times best-selling book series by Jane O’Connor and Robin Preiss Glasser, the animated family comedy centers on 6-year-old Nancy, a high-spirited young girl whose zest and enthusiasm for all that is exquisite—including language, nature, art and color—transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary. The series makes its debut on July 13 at 11 a.m. on Disney Junior, DisneyNOW and Disney Junior VOD.

Nancy Kanter, executive VP of content and creative strategy at Disney Channels Worldwide and general manager of Disney Junior Worldwide, said, “A creator and true optimist, Nancy is a relatable, imperfect character who exemplifies the problem-solving power of imagination through the comical situations she gets herself into. We look forward to the series’ premiere and sharing even more heartfelt stories that showcase Nancy’s creative endeavors and her unwavering belief that she can accomplish her grand ideas while encouraging those around her to do the same.”
