Disney Junior’s poultry-powered animated comedy-adventure The Chicken Squad is ready for its cock-a-doodle-debut this Friday, May 14 at 7:30 p.m. EDT/PDT. As previously revealed, the new series based on Doreen Cronin’s popular picture books will hatch with two back-to-back episodes, introducing families to the young chicken sibling stars Coop, Sweetie and Little Boo. Together with their canine mentor, Captain Tully, the chicks set out on problem-solving adventures in their backyard to help their animal friends.
Ahead of the eggciting event, Disney Junior has shared a new featurette with Animag, featuring voice cast members Yvette Nicole Brown (Captain Tully), Melissa Rauch (mom Dinah), Golden Globe winner Jane Lynch (Dr. Dirt), Tony Hale (Frazz) and exec producer Tom Rogers discussing the show’s delightful farmyard characters.
