Tiana show no longer coming to Disney Plus
The long-awaited Princess and the Frog television show has officially been canceled, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The Tiana show was first announced back in 2020, alongside the Moana show. While the Moana show got retooled into a full theatrical sequel, the Tiana show got pushed multiple times, before being taken off the upcoming calendar entirely. Despite Disney Imagineers talking about how the new show would tie into the new Tiana’s Bayou Adventure attraction at Disney World (formerly known as Splash Mountain) last summer, it seems that the show is officially dead.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, Disney is undergoing a shift in streaming strategy and moving away from longform content on Disney Plus. The Tiana show is allegedly getting retooled into a shortform special, whatever that means. Joyce Sherri, the most recent showrunner on the Tiana show, is set to direct and write.
Even though Splash Mountain’s whole big revamp was specifically designed around Tiana, Disney’s love for The Princess and the Frog only really sparked recently. From the time the movie came out in 2009 to 2020, it wasn’t as beloved by the company as some other more popular titles, like Frozen and Moana. Disney’s spotlight on Tiana only really picked up after the company announced that it would be replacing Splash Mountain with a Princess and the Frog-themed attraction. It was a call that came after many petitions to do so picked up traction during the 2020 Black Lives Matters protests, but a call Disney swears it had planned ahead of time.
There is no word on when the retooled Tiana shortform special will hit Disney Plus, or if it even will.
