“Warrior Cats” is getting the television treatment.

An animated TV adaptation of the beloved, long-running children’s fantasy book series is coming to Disney+ and Disney Channel, following a deal between Coolabi Group and Disney Kids & Family.

The show, from animation studio Original Force, will air in 2028. A.C. Bradley (“Ms. Marvel,” “What If?”) will serve as showrunner, with Rodrigo Blaas (“Finding Nemo,” “The Incredibles”) on board to direct. The TV show will adapt the first series of books, “Warrior Cats: The Prophecies Begin.”

Coolabi announced earlier this week that a TV project had been greenlit and has started production, saying it would air in 2028 on the Tencent Video platforms across China and Southeast Asia.

The “Warrior Cats” novel series launched in 2003 and has spawned over 100 books across various sub-series. The series was conceptualized by Victoria Holmes, one of many writers penning the novels under the pseudonym Erin Hunter for HarperCollins. The series has sold more than 90 million books and has been translated into 38 languages.

“We’re always seeking out fresh, imaginative storytelling that resonates with families around the world,” said Ayo Davis, president of Disney Kids & Family. “‘Warrior Cats’ has inspired a generation of fans, and we couldn’t be more excited to partner with Coolabi Group to bring this phenomenal series to life on Disney+ and Disney Channel.”

Allison Watkins, EVP at Coolabi Group, added: “Following our development deal with Tencent Video in 2024, we have been working hard to find the perfect home for ‘Warrior Cats.’ We couldn’t be more thrilled that Disney has come on board the project, and we look forward to delivering a truly exciting new series to ‘Warrior Cats’ fans across the globe. 2026 has already seen the successful launch of ‘Warrior Cats’ toys at retail in the U.S., and we anticipate a whirlwind year ahead for the brand.”

Will Harrison, CEO of Coolabi Group, said: “We are so grateful to Allison and former CEO Jeremy Banks for brokering such a key deal with Disney on behalf of Coolabi and Tencent Video. Disney is the perfect partner for such a hugely loved brand, and we look forward to expanding the fanbase further both in the U.S. and globally when the series hits the small screen.”
