A brand new TV series is heading to Disney+ from the world of Marvel, and it will focus on the Kingdom of Wakanda. The spin-off from Black Panther is already in development with film director Ryan Coogler.
This new series is part of a five-year overall exclusive television deal between Disney and Coogler’s Proximity Media.
“It’s an honor to be partnering with The Walt Disney Company. Working with them on Black Panther was a dream come true. As avid consumers of television, we couldn’t be happier to be launching our television business with Bob Iger, Dana Walden and all the amazing studios under the Disney umbrella. We look forward to learning, growing, and building a relationship with audiences all over the world through the Disney platforms. We are especially excited that we will be taking our first leap with Kevin Feige, Louis D’Esposito, Victoria Alonso and their partners at Marvel Studios where we will be working closely with them on select MCU shows for Disney+. We’re already in the mix on some projects that we can’t wait to share,” stated Ryan Coogler on behalf of Proximity Media.
There are not a lot of details regarding the new series, but we do know Black Panther 2 is set to begin filming this July. Disney has already stated that they will not recast Chadwick Boseman who passed away last year.
Disney CEO Bob Iger released a statement in which he said, “Ryan Coogler is a singular storyteller whose vision and range have made him one of the standout filmmakers of his generation. With Black Panther, Ryan brought a groundbreaking story and iconic characters to life in a real, meaningful and memorable way, creating a watershed cultural moment. We’re thrilled to strengthen our relationship and look forward to telling more great stories with Ryan and his team.”
The success of WandaVision has already shown that Marvel and Disney can persevere on the small screen.
