Diversity in kids TV shows helps young viewers learn that it’s okay to be different and to be true to yourself. That’s exactly the focus of Hulu’s new groundbreaking animated series The Bravest Knight, which features a same-sex interracial couple.
Based on the book The Bravest Knight Who Ever Lived by Daniel Errico, the new series follows the tale of Ser Cedric as he recounts his childhood and journey to becoming a knight to his adopted daughter Nia, an aspiring knight who he shares with his husband, Prince Andrew.
Be the real you, be the true you – it’s the bravest thing you can do!

The show will feature the talented voice of T.R. Knight as Ser Cedric, as well as SNL vet Bobby Moynihan, Wanda Sykes and RuPaul. The new show will premiere in Hulu Jun. 21 right in time for Pride Month.
The show’s announcement comes right on the heels of long-running PBS Kids’ series Arthur revealing that Mr. Ratburn is gay in an episode that featured his wedding.
