Black Panther Animated Series Eyes of Wakanda in the Works at Disney+

Get ready to head back to Wakanda: A Black Panther animated series titled Eyes of Wakanda is in development at Marvel Studios and Disney+, our sister site Variety reports.

Marvel executive Brad Winderbaum revealed the project as part of a surprise sizzle reel shown Monday night at an event promoting Season 2 of the animated anthology What If?. Black Panther director Ryan Coogler will be involved in the new animated series as well.

“Throughout Wakandan history, brave warriors have been tasked to travel the world retrieving dangerous vibranium artifacts,” per the official logline. “This is their story.”

The Marvel film Black Panther, starring the late Chadwick Boseman as the titular superhero, was a huge blockbuster when it was released in 2018, grossing more than $1.3 billion worldwide. A 2022 sequel, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, was also a huge box office hit, with Letitia Wright’s Shuri taking over as Black Panther for Boseman’s T’Challa.

Eyes of Wakanda joins a growing slate of Marvel series coming soon to Disney+. Hawkeye spinoff Echo, starring Alaqua Cox, debuts on Disney+ and Hulu with all five episodes on Wednesday, Jan. 10. Also in the works are Ironheart (with Dominique Thorne reprising her Black Panther: Wakanda Forever role), WandaVision spinoff Agatha: Darkhold Diaries (starring Kathryn Hahn) and Daredevil: Born Again, a reimagining of the Netflix series that brings back series stars Charlie Cox and Vincent D’Onofrio.
