Mira, Royal Detective is a 2020 Disney Junior show centered on Mira. The description is as follows.

"It doesn’t take a detective to deduce that Mira, Royal Detective is sure to be amazing. Mira, a young commoner, becomes a royal detective after she solves a mystery (and saves the kingdom’s young prince); she then travels throughout Jalpur helping both royals and commoners alike. Each episode will feature two 11-minute stories that feature authentic music, dance, and customs that are rooted in India’s vibrant heritage."

Mira will be voiced by 15-year-old newcomer Leela Ladnier. The young sleuth will be joined on her new adventures by her friend Prince Neel, a talented inventor voiced by Kamran Lucas (Disney’s Mech-X4); her creative cousin Priya, voiced by newcomer Roshni Edwards; and two comical mongooses, Mikku and Chikku, voiced by Kal Penn (Designated Survivor) and Utkarsh Ambudkar (The Mindy Project), respectively. The series’ star-studded voice cast also includes Freida Pinto (The Path) as Queen Shanti; Hannah Simone (New Girl) as a young commoner named Pinky; Jameela Jamil (The Good Place) as Mira’s Auntie Pushpa; Aasif Mandvi (Shut Eye) as Mira’s father, Sahil; Sarita Choudhury (Homeland) as Prince Neel’s Great-Aunt Rupa; Aparna Nancherla (BoJack Horseman) as Mira’s cousin Meena; Karan Brar (Disney Channel’s BUNK’D) as Prince Veer; Karan Soni (Deadpool) as twins Ranjeet and Manjeet; Sarayu Blue (I Feel Bad) as the palace tailor; and Parvesh Cheena (Crazy Ex-Girlfriend) and Sonal Shah (Scrubs) as bandits Manish and Poonam, respectively.

Mira, Royal Detective is executive produced by Emmy® Award nominee Sascha Paladino (Miles from Tomorrowland); the series was developed by Becca Topol (Elena of Avalor), who also serves as story editor. Sue Perotto and Dorothea Schoentag (both of Phineas and Ferb and Miles From Tomorrowland ) are supervising director and art director, respectively.

I just figured it took inspiration from them. I do get some vibes of Sally The Bollywood Detective from this premise.

Why always royalty? Kings and queens are boring as hell, yet Disney Junior makes it look like their lives are super exciting. They also look too beautiful. Where is all the royal inbreeding? No deformed hands or something?

They don't even air Sofia the First in the Netherlands anymore. And that country still has a king...

1. Why always royalty? Kings and queens are boring as hell, yet Disney Junior makes it look like their lives are super exciting.

1. Well, television involves escapism, hence why royalty usually looks more exciting.

2. Inbreeding? Really? You do know this is Disney Junior? Even with shows like The Lion Guard being more ambitious, this would definitely be a line that would not be crossed.

3. Well, the US hasn't aired the series since November 30 , 2018, so you're not alone.

Being the daughter of the president also looks exciting. Yet Disney will probably never make a cartoon like that. All fantasy countries must be royalties.
