Marvel's Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur Renewed for Season 2 Ahead of Series Premiere
More Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur is in store for Disney. The second season of Marvel's Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur has been ordered by Disney Branded Television. What makes the Season 2 renewal noteworthy is that the first season of the highly-anticipated animated series doesn't premiere until February 10th on Disney Channel and shortly thereafter on Disney+. News of Marvel's Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur Season 2 came during its panel at New York Comic Con, with the added bonus of the reveal of the show's main title sequence, featuring the theme song written and produced by three-time Grammy Award winner Raphael Saadiq, who serves as the Executive Music Producer on the series.
Diamond White, who voices Lunella Lafayette, aka Moon Girl, performs Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur's theme song, "Moon Girl Magic." The soundtrack from Walt Disney Records will release on February 10th, the same day as the show's debut. Songs from the first season can be found on it, and next summer fans can look forward to new toys, apparel, and more based on Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur.
The colorful title sequence shows all facets of Lunella's life, from her family, best friend Casey, school, and hanging with Devil Dinosaur while they watch TV. Of course, there's also the duo's superhero adventures, with Lunella using her genius intellect to create new inventions to fight crime.
Based on Marvel's hit comic books, the series follows the adventures of 13-year-old super-genius Lunella Lafayette and her 10-ton T-Rex, Devil Dinosaur, whom she accidentally brings through time into present-day New York City. Equipped with Devil's fierce loyalty and brawn, the loving support of her family and best friend Casey, Lunella sets out to make a difference and protect her Lower East Side neighborhood from danger.
