The new series will debut in 2017 on the Disney Channel and has an interesting, though not completely original, story.

"The new series takes place between the events of the feature film and the beginning of the 2012 short, Tangled Ever After, as Rapunzel acquaints herself with her parents, her kingdom, and the people of Corona. Her irrepressible spirit and natural curiosity about the world drives her to the realization that there is so much more she needs to learn before she can truly accept her royal destiny. She boldly puts her crown and impending marriage on hold to seek out epic adventures, much to the dismay of the King, who, after missing out on Rapunzel’s youth, must accept that his daughter is now an independent young woman."

All of the film's big characters will be making a return to the show which will feature all new songs from composer Alan Menken and lyricist Glenn Slater.
