The Walt Disney Company have announced that they are bringing a TV series based on the hit 2015 movie Big Hero 6, picking up directly where the movie left off. The new show will debut on Disney XD in 2017, and production is already underway.
According to an official release, the show will follow Hiro as he’s enrolled at San Fransokyo Institute of Technology, where he will go up against daunting academic challenges and the social trials of being the little man on campus. Off campus, the stakes are raised for the high-tech heroes as they must protect their city from an array of scientifically enhanced villains.
“Our colleagues at Walt Disney Animation Studios have created a brilliant new world, inspired by Marvel, with vivid, unique characters,” Disney Channels Worldwide president Gary Marsh said. “We are thrilled to have the opportunity to further develop these characters into a world class animated series — full of fun, action and the kind of endearing storytelling that only Mark, Bob — and Baymax — can deliver.”
