Disney Junior has released the first teaser for the animated series Ariel. The Little Mermaid prequel will debut on the network this Summer.
Set in the fantastical Caribbean-inspired underwater kingdom of Atlantica, the series follows an 8 year old Ariel as she embarks on fun-filled, action-packed mermaid adventures with her friends. Driven by a deep and unending curiosity about the world around her, Ariel discovers land treasures, like a big floppy hat, squeaky rubber ducky, and whisk, that she collects and keeps safe in her crystal cavern. Sometimes, Ariel uses the treasures to help solve problems.
With each discovery, Ariel is filled with joy, and her mermaid tail, which changes colors depending on her emotions, lights up and shimmers. Full of charm, big ideas and a powerful voice, Disney Junior’s Ariel is coming into her own, learning how to discover and appreciate the world around her and use her voice to inspire others.
Mykal-Michelle Harris stars in the title role, along with Taye Diggs and Amber Riley as King Triton and Ursula. Disney Junior’s Ariel is executive produced by Lynne Southerland (Mulan II, Happily Ever After).
