Overview

• The series premiered on Disney+ on August 1 as a four-episode animated anthology featuring Wakandan War Dogs recovering stolen vibranium artifacts across different historical periods.
• Created by Todd Harris and executive produced by Ryan Coogler, it enriches Wakanda’s mythology through standalone missions that serve as a prequel to the Black Panther films without advancing the MCU’s present-day narrative.
• Critics and viewers have praised its watercolor-inspired, hand-painted afro-futuristic aesthetic and meticulously choreographed action sequences for elevating the visual storytelling.
• Each episode interrogates isolationism, foreign policy consequences and the moral costs of safeguarding Wakanda’s resources through historical espionage narratives.
• No renewal has been announced, with Marvel Animation and Disney+ emphasizing that the anthology’s future hinges on audience engagement and viewership metrics.
