Overview

  • Eyes of Wakanda is a four-episode animated anthology on Disney+ created by Todd Harris with Ryan Coogler executive producing under Proximity Media in collaboration with Marvel Animation.
  • Each standalone chapter follows Wakanda’s covert Hatut Zeraze operatives on missions across ancient Crete, the Trojan War, 15th-century China and 1896 Ethiopia to recover stolen vibranium artifacts.
  • As an Earth-616 canon installment, the series weaves Wakandan espionage into the MCU timeline and deepens Black Panther mythology through historical context.
  • Critics have lauded the show’s painterly animation and expansive world-building while noting that its brevity limits character development.
  • A renewal has not been announced, but robust viewership figures and showrunner Todd Harris’s remark that “there are always more stories” point to the possibility of a second season.
