Disney+’s Delayed Tiana Animated Series Now Eyed for 2024; Midnight Mass Scribe Tapped to Write
The long-awaited animated series Tiana is still in the works at Disney+, but now we finally have an update.
The show — which was originally announced in 2020 and is now set to hit the streamer some time next year — has announced Joyce Sherri as its lead writer and director, our sister site Variety first reported. Sherri was a staff writer on Mike Flanagan’s Netflix horror miniseries Midnight Mass, and has also written and directed short films such as Beauty, Forever, Down, Down, Baby and The Family Romance.
Tiana is described as a musical comedy starring The Princess and the Frog‘s beloved restaurateur. Anika Noni Rose (Power) once again provides the voice of the series’ titular character as she “sets off for a grand new adventure as the newly crowned Princess of Maldonia.” But soon, a calling to her New Orleans past surfaces to sidetrack her.
Nathan Curtis will produce, with Jennifer Lee and Stella Meghie executive-producing.
Follow-up series to films like Zootopia, Big Hero 6, Cars and Moana were also previously announced by Disney+. The first three have already been released, while Moana still awaits its series debut and live-action film remake.
Are you highly anticipating the return of Princess Tiana? Let us know by dropping some comments below!
I think this show has some potential to be fun and I’d rather see this than yet another live action remake. But it’s not impressive that this show was announced years ago and they haven’t even written it apparently.
Has Bruno Campos returned to acting in order to voice Prince Naveen?
From the description, it doesn’t sound like he’ll be in the show.
Yes I can’t wait to see what the princess from the princess and the frog’s up too next. My granddaughter loves the movie. Disney was always 👌 a putting out great movies for the all ages. Young and old alike. Keep up the good work.

“Beauty, Forever, Down, Down, Baby and The Family Romance.”
Hehe, this would be one of those times where semi colons come in handy :)
I’m thrilled to hear that the Tiana animated series is still in development and is now scheduled for a 2024 release on Disney+. The original announcement in 2020 had fans like me eagerly waiting for this exciting addition to Disney’s streaming service. The recent update about Joyce Sherri taking the helm as lead writer and director is also quite intriguing. Her work on Mike Flanagan’s Midnight Mass and her background in short films suggests that she has the potential to bring a unique and captivating vision to Tiana.
Exciting news about the Tiana animated series!

Her background in horror miniseries and short films adds an intriguing element to Tiana’s upcoming adventure.
