'Tangled: The Series' Gets a New Title, Season 3 Renewal, and 'Chuck' Reunion
"Tangled: The Series" is back for Season 2 starting Sunday, June 24 on the Disney Channel. Mandy Moore and Zachary Levi will return as Rapunzel and Eugene, but the title itself won't be returning.
Instead, Disney just revealed that the show will now be called "Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure."
The Disney Channel also announced that Season 3 is officially happening, spreading the happy news a month before the Season 2 premiere.
Here's the synopsis for Season 2:
"Season two finds Rapunzel venturing outside of the kingdom in search of where the mystical black rocks lead, after discovering she is somehow connected to them. Accompanying Rapunzel on her journey is her partner in life, Eugene; her best friend and confidante, Cassandra; her loyal chameleon sidekick, Pascal; no-nonsense and dutiful horse, Maximus; Eugene's best friend, Lance and the Snuggly Duckling Pub Thugs. Together, they'll discover new people and places and embark on an incredible new adventure far beyond Corona's walls."
Season 2's returning voice cast members include Eden Espinosa, James Monroe-Iglehart, and Jeremy Jordan as fan-favorites Cassandra, Lance, and Varian.
Newcomers include Emmy Award-winner Carol Kane as the mystical traveler Madame Canardist; Lil Rel Howery ("Get Out") as a fast-talking host named Goodberry; Yvonne Strahovski ("Chuck") as Eugene's old love interest Stalyan; Bruce Campbell ("Cars 2") as the bizarrely charming King Edmund; Britt Robertson (ABC's "For the People") as the whip-smart no nonsense teenager Vex; Timothy Dalton ("License to Kill") as inventor and adventurer Demanitus; Katy Mixon (ABC's "American Housewife") as the stunningly beautiful Seraphina; and Kathy Najimy ("Hocus Pocus") as a sprightly and strange resident of the magical forest.
In case you missed it -- yes, that's a "Chuck" reunion for Yvonne Strahovski and Zachary Levi, even playing former love interests! Also, Bruce Campbell? Yes, please.
In its first season, "Tangled: The Series" was the top animated series on cable for Girls 9-14 and reached 40 million total viewers, including 8.3 million kids 6-11 and 7.2 million tweens 9-14. But adults can watch, too, if they want. After all, someone has to get the "Chuck" reunion reference!
