  • Comment: Currently, this might be a case of WP:TOOSOON as references appear to be trivial mentions, short coverage, or non-WP:SIGCOV routine announcements. The Collider piece has four paragraphs, but other than a short analysis of the art style it instead covers other upcoming Disney TV series or routine plot information, so overall is probably not significant coverage. I found this write-up that is decent with some analysis on plot and style and could be added, but on its own WP:GNG isn't met. Though this draft is promising, given that the TV series will be premiere sometime this year or in 2024 per this Disney tweet; therefore more in-depth coverage will be gradually available. Thanks.

Tiana is an upcoming animated musical series written and directed by Joyce Sherri for the streaming service Disney+. It is based on the 2009 film The Princess and the Frog by Ron Clements, John Musker, and Rob Edwards.

Tiana is in production by Walt Disney Animation Studios and stars Anika Noni Rose. It was announced in December 2020 and is scheduled to be released in 2024.

Synopsis

The series will center on Princess Tiana, a restaurant owner and Princess of Maldonia, as she explores her city of New Orleans.[1][2][3] The series will also focus on the kingdom of Maldonia.[4]

Production

Development

On December 10, 2020, Walt Disney Animation Studios chief creative officer Jennifer Lee announced that a musical series titled Tiana and based on the 2009 film The Princess and the Frog was in development at the studio for Disney+.[5] It was also announced in December 2020 that Anika Noni Rose, who voiced Tiana in The Princess and the Frog, would be reprising her role in the series.[6]

On November 12, 2021, Stella Meghie was announced as writer and director, making her the first African-American director to helm a Walt Disney Animation Studios project.[7] Lee contacted Meghie for the project following the latter's attempt to pitch a live-action remake of The Princess and the Frog.[8] Meghie was also reported to be executive-producing the series alongside Lee in February 2023,[9] and by October of that year, it was announced that Joyce Sherri would be replacing Meghie as writer and director. It was also reported that Zootopia+ (2022) producer Nathan Curtis would produce the series.[10]

Writing

According to Lee, Tiana will explore "a new world" with the title character, in addition to giving her "a new direction [and] a new voice".[11] In October 2023, it was reported by Variety that Joyce Sherri was the lead writer and director for the series.[12]

Animation

Animation services will be provided by Walt Disney Animation Studios' Vancouver studio, with storyboarding and pre-production handled at the Burbank studio.[13]

Release

A first look of Tiana was revealed in 2021,[7] with the series originally scheduled to release in 2022.[14][15][16] The release date was later changed to 2023[17][18] and eventually 2024.[19][12] In March 2023, the show's page changed to "coming soon to Disney+" with mention of a date removed.[20] The series will be released exclusively on Disney+.[5] A specific release date has not yet been announced.
