"Big Hero 6: The Series" News & Discussion Thread, Part 1 (Spoilers)

[Dudley]

I recall reading once that the reason the show even got approved in the first place is because Disney was NOT interested in a sequel. I'm not sure, though, since I can't find the interview about that.

Though Bob Schooley agrees that Cass finding out would be a huge deal. I don't know if the show would get to that eventually, but it should be interesting.

I’m glad we got a show instead. It allows the other members of BH6 to get more screen time and developing.

Disney Channel & Disney Junior Stars Coming To D23 Expo 2019: Meg Donnelly & More

D23 Expo is right around the corner and HollywoodLife can EXCLUSIVELY reveal the Disney Channel and Disney Junior stars who will be meeting with fans this year.

hollywoodlife.com

The show will be at D23.

 

[zoombie]

So this show had no presence at SDCC? Disappointed, I was hoping we get some clips of future episode, maybe see what the next arc is about. I am hoping Obaki comes back as a reluctant ally against a bigger threat.

 

[RoyalRubble]

They will most likely offer previews at the D23 Expo. Presumably the show returns with new episodes this Fall, so it should be about the right time to get some news about it.

 

[Red Arrow]

So this show had no presence at SDCC?

Is that a bad sign? Does it mean there won't be a 3rd season?

Is that a bad sign? Does it mean there won't be a 3rd season?

A 3rd season was already announced back in April.

 

[Red Arrow]

Thanks, I keep missing Disney's announcements, it seems.

Still weird how they didn't show anything on Comic Con. Maybe it's not popular amongst geeks, just kids?

 

[SweetShop209]

Disney usually reserves their bigger news announcements for D23 since it's a convention all about their properties. Though in even numbered years (when D23 isn't held ), there's more Comic Con presence.

Is that a bad sign? Does it mean there won't be a 3rd season?

DuckTales was the only Disney show at Comic-Con, so I think Disney just wanted their most popular show there.

First-run premieres of Big Hero 6: The Series are moving to Disney XD. The episodes slated to air on Disney Channel this month will first air on Disney XD at 7:30 AM and then on Disney Channel at 3:30 PM.

 

[SweetShop209]

That's quite unusual.

 

[zoombie]

I could see a love triangle / square, what ever you want to call it, with Hiro, Megan, and Karmi.

Megan likes Hiro, while Karmi likes Hiro's super hero alto ego, and Megan thinks Big Hero is a menace, so they will still be conflict between Megan and Karmi.

Speaking of shipping, I think after this monster arc, Alister and Liv are going to become a couple. And all it took was for Alister to spent time with an evil clone instead of the real Liv.

 

[SweetShop209]

Here's a sneak peek.

 

[RoyalRubble]

Interview with Brooks Wheelan and Jamie Chung.

 

[M.O.D.O.K.]

Huh. Some interesting tidbits coming from that interview. Mainly, other villains besides Globby get redeemed and the new headquarters.

 

[ShadowBeast]

Huh. Some interesting tidbits coming from that interview. Mainly, other villains besides Globby get redeemed and the new headquarters.

It wouldn't be surprising. High Voltage attempted to go straight and only became villains again because of Liv, Noodle Burger Boy just needs that Obake card removed and would probably go back to the fast-food market, Trina seems like a good candidate to going good as well, and finally even Obake could possibly change sides considering how he let Baymax go in order to save Hiro.

 

[SweetShop209]

September 18:

Take this with a grain of salt, but Bob Schooley says the rest of season 2 may not come until January.

November 4th:

It looks like there's a new episode on December 7. It seems to be Christmas episode.


New episodes return February.
