Disney Announces “Lion King” Series Starring Rob Lowe

Disney has spent the past four years perfecting “The Lion Guard: Return of the Roar,” a made-for-television film, and a cartoon series — both based on the beloved 1994 film.

The film is set to debut in November and the TV series in early 2016, but both will star Kion, Simba’s second-born son, and his pack of brave pals who together make up “The Lion Guard.”
