Disney4me Posted 1 hour ago Report Posted 1 hour ago The Disney Afternoon programming on Disney Channel is ICONIC, and for a good reason. Some of Disney’s most popular — and iconic — animated series were shown during that time. That’s why we love seeing some of those characters celebrating when Disneyland has its Disney Channel Nite. Darkwing Duck ©Disney Well, one of the most iconic shows during Disney Afternoon programming HAD to be Darkwing Duck, a series that cast a duck in what is essentially a parody of Batman. It shouldn’t have worked, but it did, and fans have been begging for the show to come back ever since. There were even reports that a new series was in the works way back in 2020. Well, Disney finally confirmed that a new Darkwing Duck series is coming to Disney+ soon. A brand new Darkwing Duck series has been greenlit, which will bring Drake Mallard back as the iconic crime fighter Darkwing Duck. The series is being executive produced by Sean Tretta (Star Trek: Picard) and Borja Peña Gorostegui (Lost & Crowned). Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, James Weaver, Alex McAtee and Gabby Grantham are producing for Point Grey Pictures, while Tad Stones, the original Darkwing Duck creator, serves as a consultant on the new series. ©Disney But that’s not all. The series will also feature some pretty BIG celebrities voicing characters in the series, starting with Mark Hamill (yep, Luke Skywalker, the Joker, etc. himself) as Darkwing Duck. Other voice talent includes Seth Rogen as Launchpad McDuck, Lizzy Caplan as Gosalyn Mallard, Lilimar as Duckie, Dan Stevens as Glade McTowers, Tiffany Shepis as Rosa, Kathryn Newton as Firecracker, Teo Briones as Timb, Tyler Dean Flores as Pondsy, Katie Rich as Officer Shanks, and Nat Faxon as Officer Webb. That is a LOT of star power! Darkwing Duck Here’s the premise of the new series: “For the last 35 years, Darkwing Duck has been trapped in his worst nightmare: an alternate world that’s never heard of his superhero exploits. Now a rebellious teen named Duckie who knows all about his heroic past shows up to pull this ego-fueled vigilante back into battle. Together, this unlikely duo will get dangerous to fight old enemies like Negaduck and Megavolt and reunite with allies Launchpad, Gosalyn and Morgana to save the entire universe.” ©Disney The original Darkwing Duck series ran for 91 episodes and scored an Emmy Award nomination. The series stayed alive in syndication for a while, too, while also inspiring several video games. Recently, Darkwing Duck has made an appearance in the new DuckTales series.
