Well, Tiana’s journey is far from over. Of all the things she’s going through right now, I’m most excited to show Tiana learning that the world is a lot bigger than she thought. That there are a lot more magical things in the world than she thought, and learning what it means to be a leader. Not just as the leader of her restaurant, but she’s now the princess of all of Maldonia, we haven’t even seen Maldonia yet! And what that means for her, the impact she has on the community around her, and how she maintains her Tiana-ness, the person she is, despite all these new expectations of her life.
And with the help of all her friends and the people who love her and care about her and support her, I’m really excited for her to discover these things and see what the next chapter of her life is. And she’s going to discover that life, just like everything else in your dreams, can evolve depending on what you have in your life and what you want for yourself and what new discoveries you might make with the new magical situation that she might find herself in over the course of the series. But yeah, I’m really excited for you all to see it, it’s incredible.
