Now Iwaju has been picked up by Disney to be adapted from a comic book to a science fiction television series that will reach a wider global audience.

Disney says the animated series will premiere on its Disney+ streaming platform in 2022, calling it a "first-of-its-kind collaboration". Additionally, the first look at the visual development art from the series was released on its social media handles.

While more specific details about the show are not yet available, Disney Animation Studios' Chief Creative Officer, Jennifer Lee, said it will explore themes of "class, innocence and challenging the status quo."

“Here were three talented comic book artists. Their dream was to bring African stories created by African artists to the world, highlighting the diversity of cultures, histories, and voices across the continent. Their talents as storytellers blew us away. I’m proud to announce the first of its kind collaboration to bring original long for series to Disney+”, she added.

According to Kugali’s website, the show will “combine Disney’s magic and animation expertise with Kugali’s fire and storytelling authenticity”.

The creators believe it is also an opportunity for Disney to tell a modern and authentic African story to the world and correct the global perception of Africa as a continent rather than a country.
