Kingdom Hearts Anime Series Confirmed for Disney Channel and Disney+

After over two decades of rumors and speculation, Disney has finally confirmed an original anime series based on the beloved Kingdom Hearts franchise. The announcement was made at D23's Entertainment Showcase, with key art featuring a Keyblade-wielding hero in full anime style.

The show is described as 'an original anime series inspired by the beloved video game franchise,' and will be available on both Disney Channel and Disney+. A dedicated panel for the series will take place on Saturday at D23, where fans can expect to learn more about the upcoming show and its connection to the games.

The Kingdom Hearts series has a dedicated fan base, with over 38 million copies sold worldwide. It ranks among only nine of Disney's game franchises that have grossed over $1 billion in sales. With Kingdom Hearts 4 set for release in late 2027, fans are eagerly anticipating more news about the upcoming show.
