The Chicken Squad From Disney Junior Coming Next Year

The Chicken Squad coming to Disney Junior in 2020 has released a picture as well as a little bit of casting informaiton for the show. Let’s talk casting with Yvette Nicole Brown, Ramone Hamilton (Captain Underpants, Blaze and The Monster Machines), Maxwell Simkins, and Gabriella Graves (Coop & Cami Ask the World) with others to be announced and we can only assume some guest stars as well. Based on the photo the animation looks good and it should have some built in audience from the book series as well, looking forward to The Chicken Squad.

So from what we can see, The Chicken Squad which will be coming to Disney Junior is based on the J.J. Tully Mysteries (by Doreen Cronin (Author), Kevin Cornell (Illustrator)) that spawned The Chicken Squad: The First Misadventure book which led to the series. So there is a lot of good content and world setup already for the series to use. Disney Junior has done a great job in picking up book series and turning them into very popular series (Vampirina, Fancy Nancy) and it looks like they will do the same with The Chicken Squad series.
