Disney Branded Television has ordered a second season of the highly anticipated animated series Marvel's Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur, ahead of the Feb. 10 series premiere on Disney Channel and shortly thereafter on Disney+. The news, along with a clip from the theme song, "Moon Girl Magic," written and produced by executive music producer Raphael Saadiq and performed by series star Diamond White (voice of Lunella aka Moon Girl), was revealed today during a Marvel's panel at New York Comic Con.

The Marvel's Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur soundtrack, from Walt Disney Records, is set for release on Feb. 10 and will feature songs from the first season. Next summer, fans can also look forward to a brand-new assortment of toys, apparel and more based on the series.

Based on Marvel's hit comic books, the series follows the adventures of 13-year-old super-genius Lunella Lafayette and her 10-ton T-Rex, Devil Dinosaur, whom she accidentally brings through time into present-day New York City. Equipped with Devil's fierce loyalty and brawn, the loving support of her family and best friend Casey, Lunella sets out to make a difference and protect her Lower East Side neighborhood from danger.

In addition to White, the series stars Fred Tatasciore as Devil Dinosaur; Alfre Woodard as Lunella's grandmother, Mimi; Libe Barer as Lunella's best friend and manager, Casey; Sasheer Zamata as Lunella's mom, Adria; Jermaine Fowler as Lunella's dad, James Jr.; Gary Anthony Williams as Lunella's grandfather, Pops; and series executive producer Laurence Fishburne in the recurring role of The Beyonder, a curious and mischievous trickster.

Recurring stars include Omid Abtahi, Utkarsh Ambudkar, Michael Cimino, Indya Moore and Craig Robinson.

Produced by Disney Television Animation, the series is executive produced by Fishburne and Helen Sugland's Cinema Gypsy Productions (ABC's black-ish and mixed-ish, Freeform's grown-ish) and Steve Loter (Disney's Kim Possible). For season two, Rodney Clouden (Futurama) and Pilar Flynn (Elena of Avalor) are co-executive producers; Kate Kondell (The Pirate Fairy) is co-executive producer and story editor; Halima Lucas (East of La Brea) is co-producer and story editor; Ben Juwono (Big Hero 6 The Series) is co-producer and supervising director; Chris Whittier (Big Hero 6 The Series) and Jose Lopez (Transformers Prime) are art directors; Rafael Chaidez (Kung Fu Panda) is producer.

hey as long as I get my big red dino, I don't care who he comes with.

I like where your heads at, but with my luck, Hasbro would do DD as another over-priced HasLab project, and most of us would never get to see it.

Beside who said he won't pop up in the series. They may go back in time. Or even explain how Devil D. got to the present time.

Yeah I really can't pretend to muster outrage about Moon Boy not being the star.

Speaking of I'd love to have Devil Dinosaur in Legends at some point.

I'm betting 99 percent of that positive reception is due to how much exposure and pushthey gave Moon Girl than they ever gave Moon Boy. Taking any agenda out of the equation, had they put as much effort into pushingMBover as they did MG, I'd say the reception would have been comparable. Basically, all I'm saying is there probably wasn't really any need for any change at all. Except for that "one thing", of course.

Still, if Hasbro wants to do a Deluxe $50 box set of DD and MG, I'm all over it.

Moon boy is still in the primitive world. Moon girl is in the current timeline.

They aren't trying to hide it and she has generally had a positive reception.

If comic popularity were key to mainstream success, we wouldn't live in a world where Rocket Raccoon and Groot are pop culture icons. Saying "I don't know anyone who likes these characters in the comics" doesn't really matter because the actual audience who reads comics is a small fraction of the overall market for movies and TV shows.

Seems cute and for the kids, I don't have any interest in watching this, the whole Moon Girl & Devil Dinosaur thing seemed to childish for me, I'm also sure this probably won't last very long, despite the notion that these 2 are popular I don't really know of anybody who likes these 2 and the comics seem to come and go, it's for kids but..kids don't care about this stuff, they'd still rather see Iron Man or Spidey.
