The new global distribution deal between Disney and The Pokémon Company International will expand Disney+’s access to Pokémon titles.

The deal will also allow Disney+ to stream a brand-new Pokémon series titled “Pokémon Tales: The Misadventures of Sirfetch’d & Pichu,” which will arrive in 2027. Created by the beloved animation studio Aardman, the show will also air on Disney XD.
“Pokémon has that rare ability to mean something to longtime fans while continuing to feel completely relevant to young audiences today,” Disney executive Ayo Davis said.. “This new series ‘Pokémon Tales: The Misadventures of Sirfetch’d & Pichu’ brings Aardman’s signature stop-motion artistry with a bold, playful new perspective to this beloved world, giving audiences a fresh way to experience the characters they know and love. Along with ‘Pokémon the Series: The Beginning,’ these series are powerful additions to Disney XD and Disney+.”
“Pokémon Tales: The Misadventures of Sirfetch’d & Pichu” will follow its titular Pokémon heroes on an epic journey through the Galar region, determined to help and protect Pokémon across the area. While their missions don’t always go according to plan, their noble deeds forge bonds of friendship that can survive any peril.
