New Chip 'n' Dale Series Premieres July 28 on Disney+; Cruel Summer Returning for 2nd Season
Disney+ revealed the opening title sequence and key art for the original series Chip 'n' Dale: Park Life, now premiering Wednesday, July 28. Comprised of three seven-minute stories, each episode follows two tiny troublemakers, Chip and Dale, trying to live the good life in a big city park while having giant-sized, sky-high adventures. Nervous worrier Chip and laid-back dreamer Dale make the perfect odd couple: they're best buddies and they drive each other nuts. In their perpetual pursuit of acorns, these ultimate underdogs are joined by Pluto, Butch and other iconic Disney characters as they face down bullies great and small. Filled with laugh-out-loud cartoon comedy, wacky adventures and heartfelt storytelling, the 12-episode series will debut new episodes weekly on Disney+. Chip 'n' Dale: Park Life is produced by Xilam Animation with Marc du Pontavice as Executive Producer/Producer and Jean Cayrol as Director. Vincent Artaud serves as the series composer.
Freeform has renewed its most-watched series ever, Cruel Summer, for season two. The season one finale aired last Tuesday (June 15) at 10 p.m. EDT/PDT on Freeform, streaming next day on Hulu. Cruel Summer is the first scripted series to debut under Freeform President Tara Duncan. Cruel Summer is the network's most-watched series ever, ranking as the No. 1 new cable drama of the year among Women 18-34, with the most recent episode before the finale delivering the drama's biggest linear TV audience yet—surging by 31% over its premiere. In multi-platform viewing after 35 days, the series averages 6.8 million viewers per episode. On Hulu, Cruel Summer was the most-watched next-day season one title from a linear channel in its first seven weeks to date. Cruel Summer is the No. 1 most engaged new scripted cable series on social in 2021.
