Mufasa: The Lion King has confirmed its Disney+ streaming release date. The film, which acts as a prequel to the franchise and follows the younger Mufasa, came out in cinemas last year. Following a digital release last month, it has now been announced that the movie will hit Disney+ on March 26.

"Mufasa: The Lion King," the prequel to the billion-dollar grossing 2019 "The Lion King," gets a Disney+ streaming date.

Disney's next live-action Lion King movie after Mufasa should take inspiration from another profitable series that puts its villain in the spotlight.
