What Moana: The Series is about?
Moana is a spin-off to the 2016 animated Disney film of the same name. Picking up where the 2016 feature film left off, the series follows the further adventures of the titular character. It will be the twenty-fifth television series to be based on a Disney animated feature.
Moana Season 1 Release Date on Disney+
When first announced on December 10, 2020, during the Disney investors meeting, Moana was scheduled to stream on Disney+ in 2023. The release date was later pushed back to 2024. Deadline revealed in August 2021 that Moana: The Series had been rescheduled for 2024.
This is because Walt Disney Animation Studios established a new location in Vancouver with the express purpose of focusing on long-form shows and Disney+ special projects. Moana is the first series to be worked at the new location.
In January 2022, Disney confirmed the show was still in the works under director David G. Derrick Jr. and currently has a 2024 release date.
Although Moana Season 1 is scheduled to debut in 2024, an official release date has not yet been announced. So, Moana fans will have to wait a little longer.
Moana Season 1 Plot
Disney has announced that the upcoming series Moana will pick up where the film left off. If the first season is a success, the show will allow production to pick up for additional seasons. The movie saw Moana, daughter of Motunui’s chief, Tui, and her pet rooster Heihei collaborating with the demigod Maui on a mission to save the people of Motunui, which is impacted by a terrible curse.
Moana, her pet rooster Heihei, and demi-God Maui got together in the film to embark on an adventure to the Pacific to defeat the fire god Te K. They eventually freed the ocean from the fire god’s grasp and returned it to Te Fiti, the goddess of nature.
The movie hinted at Moana’s father discussing her future emergence as his successor, and the series aims to chronicle that transformative journey. Alternatively, it might offer glimpses into her father’s life as the Chief. The series holds numerous possibilities.
While an official plotline is still unknown, the confirmation that the series will pick up where the film left off suggests several narrative and storylines that look promising. Stay tuned for more information.
