The Little Mermaid is back! Disney Junior revealed that its animated musical series, Ariel, will be arriving on the platform on June 27.
Set in the Caribbean-inspired fairytale kingdom of Atlantica, the series follows mermaid princess Ariel (Mykal-Michelle Harris) as she embarks on underwater fun with her family and friends, including King Triton (Taye Diggs), Ursula (Amber Riley), Flounder (Gracen Newton) and mermaid friends Fernie (Cruz Flateau) and Lucia (Elizabeth Phoenix Caro). Also on Wednesday, Yvette Nicole Brown ( Community), Melissa Villaseñor ( Saturday Night Live) and Ron Funches ( Undateable) were announced as recurring cast members on the series. In the movie musical, the spirited mermaid swims to shore (against her father’s wishes) and saves a prince from drowning, ultimately making a deal with sea witch Ursula to become human.
