Elena of Avalor is an American computer-animated television series that debuted on June 20, 2016 via demand in Canada, on July 1 via internet, with a July 22, 2016 television premiere on Disney Channel in the United States. The series is about a Latina princess and her family and takes place in the same continuity as Disney Junior's Sofia the First.
The series was renewed for a second season in August 2016.
Teen princess Elena Castillo Flores has saved her magical kingdom of Avalor from an evil sorceress and must now learn to rule as its crown princess. Elena's adventures will lead her to understand that her new role requires thoughtfulness, resilience and compassion, the traits of all truly great leaders. Since she is only physically 16 years old (although she spent another 41 years conscious inside the Amulet of Avalor, actually making her 57), she must follow the guidance of a Grand Council composed of her grandparents, older cousin Chancellor Esteban and a new friend, Naomi Turner. Elena also looks to her younger sister Isabel, her friends, wizard Mateo and Royal Guard lieutenant Gabe, a spirit animal named Zuzo, and a trio of magical flying creatures called Jaquins for guidance and support.
With the defeat of Shuriki and restoration of Avalor, Elena is eager to prove to her grandparents and cousin Esteban that she is capable of ruling as queen. Her first challenge involves finding stolen ships and rescuing Isabel and Gabe from magical shape shifters called Noblins.
Elena attempts to balance her duties as Crown Princess and devotion to her family when a visiting emperor arrives at the same time her sister Isabel needs her help with a project for the annual Inventor's Fair.
Guest star: George Takei as King Toshi of Satu
A rock monster named Charoca that appears in a nearby village causes problems with his explosive temper triggering volcanic activity. Elena is put at odds with the Grand Council when they vote to remove him while she desires to hear him out.

While the castle is preparing a surprise party for Esteban, Elena and Mateo take him sailing to an island where the Fountain of Youth is located. Elena and Mateo must save Esteban when he drinks too much water and becomes younger.

On the night Elena decides to appoint Mateo as Royal Wizard of Avalor, an evil malvago and old enemy of Alakazar named Fiero turns her family and the citizens to stone. Mateo must put his skills to the test to stop Fiero and save the people of Avalor.
