The Lion Guard is an American animated television series developed by Ford Riley[2] and based on Disney's 1994 film The Lion King. The series was first broadcast with a television film titled The Lion Guard: Return of the Roar on Disney Channel on November 22, 2015, and began airing as a TV series on January 15, 2016, on Disney Junior.[3] It is the second television series to be based on The Lion King, the first being The Lion King's Timon & Pumbaa (1995–1999). The Lion Guard is a sequel and spin-off to The Lion King, and takes place during the time-gap within the 1998 direct-to-video sequel The Lion King II: Simba's Pride,[4] while the third and final season takes place in parallel with the film's second act, with the final two episodes serving as an epilogue.
The second season premiered on July 7, 2017, followed by the third on August 3, 2019,[5] with the series finale airing on November 3 the same year.
