More Lion Guard, Roadster Racers for Disney Junior

BURBANK: Disney Junior has ordered a second season of Mickey and the Roadster Racers and a third run of The Lion Guard.

The Lion Guard tells of the adventures of Kion, the second-born cub of Simba and Nala, and his diverse group of friends as they unite to protect the Pride Lands. It continues the story of The Lion King and is produced by Disney Television Animation. The sophomore season will debut this summer.

Mickey and the Roadster Racers is a car-racing adventure series for preschoolers that follows Mickey Mouse, Minnie, Pluto, Goofy, Daisy and Donald, along with their unique transforming vehicles, on high-spirited races around the globe, as well as hometown capers in Hot Dog Hills. Off the racetrack, Minnie and Daisy also run their own successful business as Happy Helpers, solving problems for anyone in need of a helping hand. The show is produced by Disney Television Animation.

And what better way to keep our young viewers around the world entertained and connected to some of our most beloved Disney characters than with the new stories we will be telling. We look forward to seeing Mickey and his pals and the Lion Guard in their continuing adventures on the racetrack and across the Pride Lands.”
