Netflix's new animated kids' series [1], Maya and the Three, is giving us major Moana and Raya and the Last Dragon adventure vibes. The show centres around Mesoamerican-inspired warrior princess, Maya, who on the cusp of her fifteenth birthday and coronation discovers her family has a secret past. To save her friends and family from the vengeful gods of the underworld, Maya embarks on a journey to fulfil an ancient prophecy.
The animated series — from The Book of Life creator Jorge R. Gutiérrez — debuts this fall featuring a stacked voice cast, including Zoe Saldaña [2] as Maya, Gabriel Iglesias, Allen Maldonado, Stephanie Beatriz, Diego Luna, Gael García, Alfred Molina, Danny Trejo, Queen Latifah [3], Wyclef Jean, Rita Moreno, and so many more.
