What happens

The Lion Guard is an American animated children's television series developed by Ford Riley and based on Disney Animation's 1994 film The Lion King. The series was first broadcast with a television film titled The Lion Guard: Return of the Roar on Disney Channel on November 22, 2015, and began airing as a TV series on January 15, 2016, on Disney Junior. It is the second television series based on The Lion King following The Lion King's Timon & Pumbaa (1995–1999). The first two seasons take place within the time-gap in the 1998 film The Lion King II: Simba's Pride. The majority of the third and final season takes place in parallel with the film's second act, with the final two episodes serving as an epilogue to the film. The second season premiered on July 7, 2017, followed by the third on August 3, 2019, with the series finale airing on November 3 the same year. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
