Disney+ Releases Trailer for The Doomies and Sets Late‑June Premiere

Annecy competition selection and Xilam’s involvement signal industry backing for a darker, more mature Disney TV animated series.

Overview

  • Disney+ published the official trailer and key art for The Doomies on Tuesday, June 9, and most outlets report the series will debut on the platform on June 26.
  • The launch is billed as a 22‑episode season of half‑hour shows plus a four‑episode short‑form companion series with all episodes slated to arrive at release.
  • The series follows two teens, Bobby and Romy, who accidentally open a portal to evil and must contend with episodic monster threats alongside emotional, coming‑of‑age beats.
  • The Doomies is produced by Xilam Animation for Disney Television Animation, co‑created by Andrés Fernandez, Pozla (Rémi Zaarour) and Henry Gifford, with Fernandez directing every episode and a principal voice cast that includes Max Mittelman and Madison Calderon.
  • The episode “Night of the Fishing Dead” was selected to compete in the TV Films category at the 2026 Annecy International Animation Film Festival and will screen during the June 21–27 festival, positioning a festival showing just before the planned Disney+ launch.
