Disney Picks Up Warrior Cats for 2028 on Disney Plus

2028 will see Warrior Cats drop on Disney Plus and The Disney Channel, and Will Harrison said "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."

Warrior Cats 2028 Launch Details

50 million views per month is the baseline Disney cited when pitching why the Coolabi acquisition matters: Disney says Warrior Cats generates 50 million views per month across user‑generated content on YouTube, has nearly 3 billion views on TikTok and its Roblox game has been played more than 735 million times, figures that give the company a built‑in youth audience to funnel to Disney Kids & Family platforms.

90 million copies anchors the franchise’s proven scale—Warrior Cats has sold more than 90 million copies and been translated into 38 languages—and Ayo Davis, president, Disney Kids & Family, framed the pickup as part of the unit’s slate strategy: "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."

Franchise Reach: YouTube TikTok Roblox

AC Bradley created and showran the series with Rodrigo Blaas directing, and production will include El Guiri Studios while Original Force adapts the property for Tencent Video in China, signaling a multi‑partner approach that separates global streaming rights from regionally tailored versions and lets Disney lean on existing social engagement to launch the show.

Neil Court said "insulates the company from the vagaries of what’s happening with the kids television business now, which is so precarious," a remark that exposes the deal’s practical tension: Coolabi positions the Disney tie‑up as risk mitigation even as the market for children’s linear and streaming content shifts rapidly and pricing for talent and animation services remains volatile.
