Disney might have an animated Kingdom Hearts TV series in the works if chatter between Disney insiders is anything. There are no concrete details yet, and there hasn't been an official announcement from Disney, but early rumors - assuming they're true - suggest the series will be developed in conjunction with Square Enix. .
Cinema Spot's Emre Kaya originally heard the news and was planning on posting an exclusive article about it, but other insiders caught on to the plans as well. Jeremy Conrad, founder of MCU Cosmic, said the rumors were true. Next, Skyler Shuler, editor of The DisInsider, was tagged in Conrad's post; he responded by saying not only that Conrad's post was true, but that he had additional information.
Was tagged in Jeremys post (which is true), so here's what I know:
-Kingdom Hearts will be a Disney+ series, not a movie.
-It's animated (CG)
-Disney VO actors set to reprise their roles (Jim Cummings, Bill Farmer, Tony Anselmo)
All that I know. https://t.co/UTFGqXtSP6

So, the KH series will be a Disney+ series (no surprise there) and not a movie, and Disney's voice actors are expected to reprise their roles. Kaya's original post mentions that the venture is a joint project between Square Enix and Disney and is the result of a failed effort to make a live-action Kingdom Hearts movie.
What we don't know is if this would be a new installment in the Kingdom Hearts universe or some sort of retelling of the (sometimes confusing) history of the games. And it's important to keep in mind that these are just rumors at this time, and nothing has been officially confirmed yet.
But with the Uncharted movie, as well as The Last of Us series and PlayStation Productions expecting more video game and TV movie adaptations, we'll likely see many more in the not-too-distant future. Stay tuned to GameSkinny for more Kingdom Hearts TV series news as it develops.
