Primetime Black Panther Animated Series Getting BET Re-Release

This is the most press given to this series, even when the show was on TV.

BET is re-releasing the six-episode 2010 animated series adaptation of Black Panther. The motion-comic animated series only ran for a handful of episodes despite having a stellar cast consisting the likes of Kerry Washington (Scandal), Alfre Woodard  (Golden Globe winner), Djimon Hounsou, and Stan Lee as part of the show’s cast. The half-hour series was written and created by Reginald Hudlin.

In Black Panther, upon becoming the new Black Panther after the assassination of his father T’Chaka, T’Challa deals with the jealousy in the Wakandanroyal court while looking for the man who killed his father. Unbeknownst to Black Panther, Klaw (the man who assassinated T’Chaka) has assembled a group of villains consisting of Batroc the Leaper, Juggernaut, the Vatican Black Knight, and the Russian Radioactive Man to help him take over Wakanda.

You can watch two episodes of the Black Panther animated series now on the BET network’s Facebook page with the others soon to follow.
