Wiki.

Iwájú (pronounced [ī.wá.d͡ʒú]) is an upcoming animated miniseries produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios and the Pan-African British-based entertainment company Kugali Media for the streaming service Disney+. It is written by Adeola and Halima Hudson and directed by Ziki Nelson, and is the first "original long-form animated series" produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios. The title of the series, iwájú, roughly translates to "the future" in the Yoruba language (literally "front-facing").

The series stars Simisola Gbadamosi, Dayo Okeniyi, Femi Branch, Siji Soetan, and Weruche Opia. Originally planning a series of shorts, Walt Disney Animation Studios and Kugali Media were developing the long-form series for Disney+ by December 2020, with Nelson on board. The story draws inspiration from (and is set in) the city of Lagos, Nigeria, due to Lagos being "the culture capital of Nigeria", and due to both its mainland and island areas having "a unique, distinct feel" that the creative team felt provided "an interesting base for the story". Cinesite was announced to co-produce the series in September 2021, with pre-production already underway at Cinesite Montreal. Production began in May 2022. Animation is provided by both Cinesite's Montreal and London facilities and Disney Animation's Vancouver studio, with pre-production and storyboard supervision at Disney's Burbank studio.

Iwájú is scheduled to premiere on Disney+ on February 28, 2024, and will consist of six episodes.
