Disney's Moana Sequel Series Gets Its Director

Disney’s upcoming Moana TV series has added David G. Derrick Jr. as director, allowing him to continue the journey that first brought him on board with Disney when he worked on Moana back in 2016. The new series will bring back the Samoan island girl who has now become chieftain and wayfinder of her tribe, and is currently set to be released on Disney+ sometime in 2024 after being pushed back from an originally announced 2023 arrival. There is no word yet on casting for the sequel as to whether the likes of Dwayne Johnson could be reprising his role as Maui, but with his very busy schedule the series delay could help out in allowing him to complete voiceover work for the part if he does feature.
