Guardians of the Galaxy is an American animated television series. It is based on the Marvel Comics superhero team of the same name. It is produced by Marvel Television and Marvel Animation. The series airs on Disney XD. It premiered on September 26, 2015 as a part of the Marvel Universe block.
While the series serves as a continuation of the first film's plot, the film's director James Gunn has stated that it is not a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe nor connected to the feature film or its sequel.
Disney XD has renewed the series for a second season.
The Guardians of the Galaxy team consists of Star-Lord, Gamora, Drax the Destroyer, Rocket Raccoon, and Groot. They have obtained an artifact called the Spartaxian CryptoCube that is tied to the Spartax race. Inside is a map leading to the Cosmic Seed. The Cosmic Seed is a powerful weapon that is capable of creating a new universe. The Guardians of the Galaxy must find and destroy the Cosmic Seed before it can wind up in the hands of Thanos, his minions Ronan the Accuser, Nebula, and Korath the Pursuer, the Ravagers led by Yondu, and anyone else who would abuse its power to threaten the entire universe.
Marvel was rumored to be considering a new animated series with another Spider-Man show or a Guardians of the Galaxy show. The appearances of the Guardians of the Galaxy in Avengers Assemble and Ultimate Spider-Man were supposed to be test runs for their own show. Comicbookmovie.com indicated in January 2014 that the Guardians of the Galaxy series was selected for development.
