Disney just confirmed that a Kingdom Hearts series is coming to Disney+, announced at D23 2026. The project is being developed with Tetsuya Nomura and Square Enix, bringing a new story while keeping the familiar Kingdom Hearts feel.
Ayo Davis, president of Disney Kids & Family, said the series will give fans “a whole new way to experience the world they love.” This marks the first time the franchise will move from games to a full series, mixing Disney’s characters with Square Enix’s storytelling.
The show joins Disney+’s growing lineup of original animated series. Current and upcoming titles include Dragon Striker, Phineas and Ferb, Big City Greens, Messi and the Giants, Warrior Cats, and Journey.
