Taye Diggs during Disney Junior's Ariel interview
Summary Premiering on the network on June 27, Disney Junior's Ariel will be available to stream the following day on Disney+. The animated series stars Mykal-Michelle Harris as young Ariel and centers around the mermaid princess' musical adventures throughout the Caribbean-inspired kingdom of Atlantica. Taye Diggs, Amber Riley, Elizabeth Phoenix Caro, Cruz Flateau, Gracen Newton, Kevin Michael Richardson, Dana Heath, and Jessica Mikayla make up the rest of the main cast.
Screen Rant interviews Taye Diggs about Triton's relationship with his daughter in the new series and what he hopes viewers will take away from Disney Junior's Ariel. All of the characters are based on The Little Mermaid, but they're unique in their own way. How would you compare this Triton to the Triton from the original story?
Taye Diggs: It goes a little bit deeper. You get to see the specifics of what this young girl is going through and how she relates to her father. I love the fact that you're seeing these characters deal with life. He is a king. He has responsibilities. She is young, and growing, and curious, and a lot of times that can be really difficult, but you still have to deal with it.
After reading the script and stepping into the role, was there anything you found that you brought to Triton that wasn't necessarily on the page?
