The long-awaited Big Hero 6 animated TV series will finally begin airing in June on Disney Channel, DisneyNOW, and Disney Channel VOD platforms, the company announced. The show was originally planned to premiere last fall; the second season has already been greenlit (see "’Big Hero 6’ Renewed Before Series Debut").
Two back-to-back episodes will air on Saturday, June 9 and Sunday, June 10 as a premiere weekend event. Following the initial weekend, new episodes will be aired every Saturday through September.
In addition to the returning voice cast from the movie, a very special guest star will appear. Christy Carlson Romano, who played the title role in Kim Possible, will be re-united with the production team from the show, which is producing Big Hero 6, when she voices bot-fighter Trina.
Shorts featuring Baymax beginning Thursday, May 31 across Disney Channel, DisneyNOW, and Disney Channel YouTube will promote the premiere. Disney will release the DVD Big Hero 6 The Series: Back in Action! On June 26.
Merch will have a windowed release that favors Disney channels, debuting on ShopDisney.com on May 1, at Disney stores on June 1, and at other retailers July 1.
