The world of SuperKitties is getting even bigger.
Disney Jr.’s hit preschool series is officially welcoming a brand-new member to its superhero team with the debut of Willa the Wildcat, marking the latest evolution for one of Disney Jr.’s fastest-growing original franchises.
Revealed in the new full-length special, The New SuperKitty, Willa officially joins Ginny, Sparks, Buddy and Bits after proving herself during a high-stakes mission to stop Cat Burglar and the Glamsters from taking over Kittydale. The special premiered on Disney Jr. and arrives on Disney+ tomorrow, giving even more families the opportunity to meet the newest member of the team.
To celebrate Willa’s arrival, Disney has also released the all-new Ready to Su-Purr Roar music video, putting the spotlight on the franchise’s newest hero. Fans can also add the extended version of the song to their playlists when it launches across digital music platforms.
The expansion doesn’t stop there.
Disney Jr. has also announced two brand-new seasonal specials arriving later this year, continuing to build out the world of SuperKitties beyond its regular episodes.
Howl-O-Ween Charm sees the team racing to stop mischievous Trixters after a magical Halloween charm is stolen, while Friendsgiving Feast brings Willa into another adventure as the SuperKitties work together to save Kittydale’s holiday traditions after the Glamsters cause festive chaos. The Thanksgiving-themed special will also feature guest appearances from Jenifer Lewis and Henry Winkler.
The continued expansion reflects just how quickly SuperKitties has become one of Disney Jr.’s breakout franchises. Since its debut in 2023, the series has amassed more than 33.2 billion minutes viewed across linear television and streaming while generating nearly 500 million YouTube views, making it one of the network’s strongest-performing preschool properties.
That success has also fueled a growing consumer products lineup, with SuperKitties now extending well beyond the screen through toys from Just Play, apparel, costumes, books and other merchandise available at retailers nationwide.
Fans attending this year’s Disney Jr. Let’s Play! Party at Disney California Adventure will also see the franchise continue expanding into live experiences as Confection Purrfection with the SuperKitties returns for a special one-day engagement, giving young guests another opportunity to interact with the characters in person.
With a new SuperKitty joining the team, more seasonal adventures on the way and its footprint continuing to grow across streaming, music, consumer products and Disney Parks, SuperKitties continues proving that its world is only getting bigger as Disney Jr. invests further in one of its newest family favorites.
