Disney Junior has ordered new seasons of its animated series Sofia the First, Doc McStuffins and Jake and the Never Land Pirates.​

Sofia the First, which follows the adventures of Disney’s first little girl princess, and the acclaimed Emmy-nominated Doc McStuffins, which centres around a six-year-old girl who runs a clinic for her stuffed animals and toys, have each been picked up for a third season, while the Emmy-nominated and Annie Award-winning Jake and the Never Land Pirates, featuring a crew of kid pirates alongside classic Disney characters Captain Hook and Mr. Smee, has received an order for a fourth season.

The announcement was made by Nancy Kanter, Executive Vice President, Original Programming and General Manager, Disney Junior Worldwide.​

Kanter said,

“Sofia the First, Doc McStuffins and Jake and the Never Land Pirates do what Disney does best — tell great stories with humour and heart. We’ve seen these series connect with our audience around the world and across platforms in meaningful ways, and we have many more stories to tell. We look forward to developing new narratives that will put our charismatic princess Sofia, aspiring doctor Doc, and inspiring hero Jake into exciting new situations and locales.”

​T​he series can be seen in over 30 different languages in over 160 countries. They are also featured in the popular Disney Junior Appisode app for iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch and can be viewed on WATCH Disney Junior for web and mobile devices.
