Disney Jr., which currently dominates preschool television with the top three shows on streaming for Kids 2-5 – “Bluey,” “Marvel’s Spidey and his Amazing Friends” and “Mickey Mouse Clubhouse” – unveiled a slate of new series, specials, casting news, and premiere dates today. The announcements were made by Ayo Davis, president, Disney Branded Television, at the “Disney Jr. Let’s Play!” fan celebration at Disney California Adventure Park, which will also be taking place at Downtown Disney District in Anaheim, California, throughout the weekend.

Highlights included new series “Cars: Lightning Racers,” inspired by Disney and Pixar’s Academy Award®-winning “Cars” films, with Owen Wilson and Larry the Cable Guy reprising their iconic roles; “Marvel’s Avengers: Mightiest Friends,” the first-ever preschool Avengers series; and two new seasons of “Mickey Mouse Clubhouse+,” which debuted July 22 on Disney+ as the biggest original Disney Jr. launch on the platform to date.

Said Davis:

“Disney Jr. is where preschool magic begins – and no one does it bigger or better. Our shows are often a child’s very first connection to the world of Disney, sparking the songs they sing, the characters they adore, and the adventures they want to live again and again.” She continued, “Today’s announcements build on that leadership, expanding the worlds kids already love and introducing new multiplatform stories that will capture the hearts of the next generation.”
