Disney+ is booking a return trip to Wakanda.

Writer-director Ryan Coogler has been given the green light to make a new Marvel TV show for Disney+. The show will be set in the Kingdom of Wakanda as part of a five-year TV exclusivity deal with Coogler’s production banner, Proximity Media.

Coogler directed and co-wrote Black Panther, released in 2018, and will write and direct Black Panther II. The sequel is scheduled for release on July 8th, 2022. Coogler will develop the new Wakanda Disney+ series as his first project under the new deal, Deadline reports. 

The deal with Proximity Media also includes the option to create shows for other entities under the Disney banner, not just Marvel Studios. According to Coogler, “We’re already in the mix on some projects that we can’t wait to share.”

“Ryan Coogler is a singular storyteller whose vision and range have made him one of the standout filmmakers of his generation,” said Disney executive chairman Bob Iger in a statement. “With Black Panther, Ryan brought a groundbreaking story and iconic characters to life in a real, meaningful and memorable way, creating a watershed cultural moment. We’re thrilled to strengthen our relationship and look forward to telling more great stories with Ryan and his team.”

No details on the Wakanda series were released with the announcement, but the show could be based on characters we met in the movies, like Okoye (Danai Gurira) and Shuri (Letitia Wright). Chadwick Boseman, who starred in Black Panther, passed away in August of last year. His part is not being recast for the sequel.

Wakanda is the once-secretive African nation and the source of the indestructible metal vibranium. It shielded itself from the predation of colonialists, and thus was able to become the most technologically advanced society on the planet, and home to a host of interesting characters and story possibilities.

Coogler shared his excitement for the project, saying in a statement that “it’s an honor to be partnering with The Walt Disney Company. Working with them on Black Panther was a dream come true. As avid consumers of television, we couldn’t be happier to be launching our television business with Bob Iger, Dana Walden and all the amazing studios under the Disney umbrella.”

Disney has been milking all the properties under its umbrella, including Pixar, Marvel and the Star Wars universe, for content for its streaming service. WandaVision is currently airing on Disney+, and the service plans to release a new episode of a Marvel-based show every week this year. Future offerings include Loki and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.
