Disney Readies DuckTales Season Three

Season three of the Emmy-nominated series DuckTales is set to debut with two new episodes next month on Disney XD and DisneyNOW.

DuckTales stars David Tennant (Doctor Who) as Scrooge McDuck, Danny Pudi (Community) as Huey, Ben Schwartz (Parks and Recreation) as Dewey and Bobby Moynihan (Saturday Night Live) as Louie, among a raft of others. The two new episodes are slated to bow on Saturday, April 4, at 9:30 a.m.

Featuring appearances by the classic Disney characters Daisy Duck, Goofy and favorites from TaleSpin, Chip ‘n’ Dale Rescue Rangers and Darkwing Duck, the new season finds the Duck family embarking on a globetrotting hunt for the world’s greatest lost artifacts, with a secret organization from Scrooge’s past, the Fiendish Organization for World Larceny (F.O.W.L.), trying to stop them at any cost.

Season three guest stars include Giancarlo Esposito (Breaking Bad), Selma Blair (Hellboy), Kristofer Hivju (Game of Thrones), Bebe Neuwirth (Cheers), Retta (Parks and Recreation) and Stephanie Beatriz (Brooklyn Nine-Nine), among several others.

DuckTales has reached over 135 million views on social media and YouTube in its first and second season combined.

The animated comedy-adventure series chronicles the high-flying adventures of Duckburg’s most famous trillionaire, Scrooge McDuck; his mischief-making triplet grandnephews, Huey, Dewey and Louie; temperamental nephew, Donald Duck; and the trusted McDuck Manor team: big-hearted, fearless chauffer/pilot Launchpad McQuack, no-nonsense housekeeper Mrs. Beakley and Mrs. Beakley’s granddaughter, Webby Vanderquack, resident adventurer and the triplet’s fierce friend.
