‘Chicken Squad’ Is Coming to Disney Junior
Move over Jake. Mickey park your Roadster somewhere else because it’s time for The Chicken Squad! According to a recent piece in The Hollywood Reporter, Disney Junior has just given the greenlight to a new series featuring a trio of young chicken siblings.
The series is based on the popular children’s books by Doreen Cronin and follows the chickens along with their mentor (a retired police dog) as they work together to keep their neighborhood safe!
The show will be geared toward families with preschoolers and will teach kids the benefit of teamwork along with critical thinking skills. In each episode, the siblings know as Coop, Little Boo and Sweetie go on exciting adventures and are faced with obstacles they must overcome with the help of Captain J.J. Tully a watchdog.
The voice cast will include Ramone Hamilton (The Epic Tales of Captain Underpants) as Coop, the enthusiastic and inventive leader; Maxwell Simkins (Bizaardvark) as Little Boo, the quick and confident younger brother; Gabriella Graves (Coop and Cami Ask the World) as Sweetie, the strong and big-hearted sister; and Yvette Nicole Brown (Community, Elena of Avalor) as Captain Tully.
“We love the fun, silly humor found in The Chicken Squad book series and are excited to have the opportunity to use that original material as a jumping-off point for our newest Disney Junior series,” Disney Junior senior vp original programming and general manager Joe D’Ambrosia said. “Full of humor, heroism and heart, we can’t wait for our young viewers to follow along on the adventures of these adorable problem-solving chickens and their police dog mentor as they model what it’s like to be good community helpers.”
Production has begun for a 2020 premiere.
