Mandy Moore and Zachary Levi will reprise their roles as Rapunzel and Eugene (also known as Flynn Rider) from the hit Disney animated film TANGLED in a new series which will premiere in 2017 on Disney Channels around the world. The project will also reunite Disney Legend and Academy Award-winning composer Alan Menken and lyricist Glenn Slater, who will compose new songs for the project, Slater confirmed on Twitter.

In a new interview with ET, Levi, (currently starring in Broadway's SHE LOVES ME), shares details on the new animated series which will consist of 78 episodes over the course of three seasons. Check it out below!

Zachary Levi recently received a 2016 Tony nomination for Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role in a Musical for his role of Georg in Roundabout Theater Company's SHE LOVES ME. He will soon be seen on upcoming NBC series "Heroes." The highly anticipated revamp of the fan favorite show will premiere to excited audiences in the fall of 2015. This marks a return to NBC for Levi, who portrayed the beloved "Chuck" for five seasons.

Levi recently did a theater run in his Broadway debut as "Aaron" a sweet guy looking for love, opposite Krysta Rodriguez in the witty musical First Date. The play received critical acclaim as did Levi for the run of the show. On the big screen, Levi appeared most recently in the Marvel film Thor 2 as the role of "Fandral the Dashing." Levi also appeared as the lead role opposite Mandy Moore in Disney's twist on its classic Rapunzel, entitled Tangled. The Oscar-nominated film was a huge success at the box office and DVD release. Additionally, Levi appeared in the 20th Century FOX film Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel, which broke box office records in its Christmas release.
