Disney’s Emmy- and Imagen Award-winning series Elena of Avalor will end with an epic prime-time finale special on August 23, at 7 p.m. ET/PT.
Elena of Avalor premiered in 2016 and has captured the hearts and imaginations of kids everywhere. This was Disney’s first show to feature a Latina princess. Inspired by diverse Latin cultures and folklore, Elena of Avalor tells the story of Elena, a brave and adventurous teenager who has been learning what it takes to be a great leader by ruling her enchanted fairy-tale kingdom as crown princess until she’s old enough to be queen.
New episodes of the series will begin airing on Sunday, July 26th at 5 p.m. ET on Disney Junior and DisneyNOW. Each week will see a new episode leading up to the finale in August. The final episode is titled “Elena of Avalor: Coronation Day,” and it will see the titular princess finally fulfill her journey to becoming queen.
“It has been a tremendous honor for me to bring Disney’s first Latina princess to the screen,” said creator and executive producer Craig Gerber. “Everyone involved with Elena of Avalor, from the creative team to the unbelievable cast and crew, felt the responsibility to get this right. We created the character of Elena with the hope that she would be a role model, not just for young Latina girls watching, but for all children to be able to see what a true leader looks like. From the beginning, Elena’s story arc has been that she would one day become queen. With the series finale, the creative team has been able to bring Elena’s story to the thrilling conclusion that we always envisioned. I can’t wait for viewers to see the final chapter in Elena’s epic adventure.”
In the final episode, Elena of Avalor: Coronation Day, as plans for Elena’s (voice of Aimee Carrero) coronation are underway, Esteban’s (voice of Christian Lanz) team of villains unleash legendary spirit misfits, the Four Shades of Awesome. In order to save her kingdom, her family and her friends, Elena must journey to the Spirit World and back, and face the ultimate test of her courage and character, before becoming queen.
The special will boast an all-star guest cast of Jenny Slate, Mark Hamill, Fred Armisen, and Andy Garcia as the Four Shades of Awesome and Patrick Warburton as Grand Macaw, ruler of the dark side of the Spirit World.
