A new animated series based on Walt Disney Animation Studios’ 2014 feature film is set to hit the small screen in 2017, reports THR. Most of the original voice cast will be reprising their roles in this new venture set to debut on the Disney XD channel.

Reprising their roles will be Ryan Potter as Hiro; Scott Adsit as Baymax; Alan Tudyk as Alistair Krei; Jamie Chung as Go Go; Maya Rudolph as Aunt Cass; Genesis Rodriguez as Honey Lemon; David Shaughnessy as Heathcliff; and Stan Lee as Fred’s dad. Also joining the cast will be Khary Payton as Wasabi and Brooks Wheelan as Fred.

“The series, which picks up immediately following the events of the film, continues the adventures and friendship of 14-year-old tech genius Hiro and his compassionate, cutting-edge robot Baymax. Along with their friends Wasabi, Honey Lemon, Go Go and Fred, they form the legendary superhero team Big Hero 6 and embark on high-tech adventures as they protect their city from an array of scientifically enhanced villains.”

Mark McCorkle, Bob Schooley and Nick Filippi, (Kim Possible), will be executive producing the series.

The series is set to debut in 2017.
