Recommended Posts

Remember when Walt Disney Animation Studios announced a long-form TV show based on our beloved The Princess and the Frog?

This is not the update we wanted to give on the show that was slated to stream on Disney+.

The show Tiana has officially been canceled, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Originally announced in 2020, this show was supposed to be a “long-form musical comedy,” but Disney has since decided to pull back from making original long-form content for streaming. The company is focusing more on theatrical movie releases and later placing the movies on streaming.

The show was planned to take place after The Princess and the Frog and have Anika Noni Rose reprising her role as Tiana. It would have followed the princess as she “sets off for a grand adventure as the newly crowned Princess of Maldonia, but a calling to her New Orleans past isn’t far behind.”

While we’re very disappointed this Tiana show isn’t going to be created, is there still a chance we’ll get a sequel after The Princess and the Frog, which came out in 2009?

The sequel to Moana was originally supposed to be a TV series under the name Moana, which was also announced in 2020. This idea was later transformed into Moana 2, which was released in theaters in November 2024. The movie made more than 1 billion dollars at the box office and will be streaming on Disney+ on March 12th.

Inside Out 2, which came out this past summer, earned 192 million dollars at the worldwide box office nine years after the original movie. We even got Dream Productions, a limited series based in the Inside Out universe, which streamed directly to Disney+.

Disney has shown a lot of love to The Princess and the Frog after retheming Splash Mountain to Tiana’s Bayou Adventure in both Disneyland and Disney World. Tiana was also the icon of the runDisney Wine and Dine Half Marathon Weekend in 2024, and Ray was on the most recent Annual Passholder magnet.
