Disney's first-ever Latina princess, Elena of Avalor [1], is coming to a TV screen near you — soon.
The groundbreaking addition to a long line of iconic royal characters, Elena has her own Disney Channel show, aptly titled Elena of Avalor, set to makes its US debut during an hour-long event on July 22 at 7 p.m. EDT.
With gorgeous costumes [2], exciting storylines, and a cast featuring some of Hollywood's most notable Hispanic talent, let's just say it's bound to be good. Actress Aimee Carrero, whom you may remember from Young & Hungry, is the voice behind adventurous Elena (and her empowering anthem, "My Time"), but you can expect to hear a slew of other recognizable voices, including Ana Ortiz, Constance Marie, Jaime Camil, Jenna Ortega [3] as Elena's little sister, and even Tyler Posey [4].
If those names don't make you excited for your new favorite animated show, we don't know what will — well, OK, maybe the fact that, on July 1, verified Disney App and Disney VOD users will get the chance to stream the first episode in advance. Is it July yet?
