Anika Noni Rose Reacts to Disney+ Series Cancellation

The Tiana series on Disney+ has been canceled, and Anika Noni Rose, who voiced Princess Tiana in the original film, expressed her disappointment on Instagram. She received an outpouring of support from fans who were looking forward to the show.

Rose mentioned that a lot of effort and talent had gone into the series, with shoutouts to key creatives like Jenn Lee and Joyce Sherri. Despite the setback, she encouraged fans to stay tuned for what is now being described as a ‘Tiana Special Event.’ She urged viewers to show their love for the characters by tuning in and sharing the news with others.

Although the cancellation was disheartening, Rose assured fans that the team is still working hard to create beautiful content. She ended her message with gratitude for everyone who has supported the Tiana series and reiterated the love for the character.

Disney has since announced that a short-form special based on The Princess and the Frog is in development, with Joyce Sherri, the original writer and director of the series, taking the lead. It remains to be seen if this special is the same project that Rose alluded to in her statement.

The Princess and the Frog is a treasured Disney classic, earning multiple Oscar nominations and a Disney Legend status for Anika Noni Rose. The recent transformation of Splash Mountain into Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is a testament to the lasting impact of the film and its characters.
