The stars, who played Rapunzel and Eugene/Flynn Rider respectively, will reunite for the small-screen adaptation of Disney’s 2010 movie.

Mandy said she is “very excited for new adventures”, while Zachary called the news “a little nugget of awesome.”

The series will focus on the events between the film and the start of the 2012 short movie, Tangled Ever After, following Rapunzel as she gets to know her parents and her kingdom before she accepts her royal destiny.

It will include characters such as plucky chameleon sidekick, Pascal, the no-nonsense horse, Maximus, the Snuggly Duckling Pub thugs and newcomer Cassandra, a tough-as-nails handmaiden, who becomes Rapunzel’s confidant.

Gary Marsh, president and chief creative officer of Disney Channels Worldwide, said: “The genius of the original movie was its seamless blending of cinematic adventure, character-driven comedy and touching emotion. And we are fortunate to have several of the creative talent from that movie on board with this new production.

“With the addition of Chris Sonnenburg and Shane Prigmore as executive producers, we have the perfect team in place to create a series worthy of the original film,” he added.

Production on the series is set to begin shortly, with a 2017 air date on Disney Channels around the world.
