Inspired by diverse Latin cultures and folklore, Elena of Avalor premiered in July 2016 and ran for three season. It tells the story of Elena, a brave and adventurous teenager who has been learning what it takes to be a great leader by ruling her enchanted fairytale kingdom as crown princess until she is old enough to be queen.
Craig Gerber is creator and executive producer of the Emmy- and Imagen Award-winning series, which airs in more 150 countries around the world.
“It has been a tremendous honor for me to bring Disney’s first Latina princess to the screen,” Gerber said. “Everyone involved with Elena of Avalor, from the creative team to the unbelievable cast and crew, felt the responsibility to get this right. We created the character of Elena with the hope that she would be a role model, not just for young Latina girls watching, but for all children to be able to see what a true leader looks like. From the beginning, Elena’s story arc has been that she would one day become queen. With the series finale, the creative team has been able to bring Elena’s story to the thrilling conclusion that we always envisioned. I can’t wait for viewers to see the final chapter in Elena’s epic adventure.”
