First announced in 2020, the Disney+ show was envisioned as a musical featuring Anika Noni Rose reprising her role as Tiana, Disney's first Black princess, from 'The Princess and the Frog.'

Walt Disney Animation Studios won’t be wasting any more time on streaming shows, according to a new report. The studio has dropped long-gestating plans for a Tiana series (about the protagonist of 2009’s The Princess And The Frog) starring Anika Noni Rose and is dropping all plans for longform content,

Instead, Joyce Sherri, who was writing and directing on the animated series, will be helming an animated special that will find its home on Disney+. "Meet the Robinsons" director Stephen Anderson will also direct on the new project.
