Here are some reactions from the Oh My Disney team upon hearing the news:

 “Oh yeah!”

 “It really is the circle of life.”

 “Simba’s son? Where’s Kiara?”*

 “I might have to have a baby immediately so he or she can watch this show.”

The wildlife education experts at Disney’s Animal Kingdom theme park will serve as consultants on the project. A television movie will premiere in fall 2015, followed by the series in early 2016. We can’t wait to share one of favorite films with a whole new generation! Color us excited.

*Worry not, as the future queen of the pride lands, Kiara’s in the show as well!
