Parents looking to entertain their kids during the coronavirus pandemic are getting a little help from Disney.
A new series, "Mira, Royal Detective," premieres Friday on Disney Channel and Disney Junior, as does the "Descendants Remix Dance Party" special.
"Mira, Royal Detective" is set in the Indian-inspired land of Jalpur and is focused on Mira, a young lady of humble origins who becomes the queen's royal detective.
“I love the fact that we're representing different people from different cultures around the world,” Jameela Jamil, who voices a character on the series, told "Good Morning America."
“It's just so important that other people see," she added. "I think the things that you tend to hear about my part of the world is often either about poverty or about, you know, things to do with war. So it's nice to show the different side of us that is really beautiful and just exotic and interesting, and fabulous while being represented.”
"Mira, Royal Detective" airs at 7:00 p.m. ET/PT on Disney Junior, and "Descendants Remix Dance Party" premieres Friday, March 20, 7:30 p.m. ET/PT on Disney Channel.
