== Production ==
=== Development ===
[[Ryan Coogler]], writer and director of the [[Marvel Studios]] films ''[[Black Panther (film)|Black Panther]]'' (2018) and ''[[Black Panther: Wakanda Forever]]'' (2022), announced in February 2021 a five-year television deal between his company [[Proximity Media]] and [[Walt Disney Television]]. The deal included development of a drama series for the streaming service [[Disney+]] based in the fictional country of [[Wakanda (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Wakanda]], the setting of the ''Black Panther'' films. Coogler was developing the series with Marvel Studios' [[Kevin Feige]], [[Louis D'Esposito]], and [[Victoria Alonso]].<ref name="WakandaSeries" /><ref name="WakandaSeriesMarvel" /> Richard Newby at ''[[The Hollywood Reporter]]'' opined that the series could expand the mythos of Wakanda while also being a continuing tribute to [[Chadwick Boseman]], who portrayed [[T'Challa (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|T'Challa / Black Panther]] in the [[Marvel Cinematic Universe]] (MCU) until his death in August 2020. Newby said the series could explore different storylines, such as: [[Winston Duke]]'s [[M'Baku (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|M'Baku]] and the Jabari Tribe, given Duke was one of ''Black Panther''{{'s}} breakout performers; [[Killmonger (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|N'Jadaka / Erik "Killmonger" Stevens]]'s mercenary past; T'Challa's father [[T'Chaka (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|T'Chaka]] and his time as [[Black Panther (character)|Black Panther]]; or the [[Dora Milaje (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Dora Milaje]], Wakanda's all-female fighters. Newby also noted comic book characters that the series could introduce to the MCU, such as the first Black Panther, [[Bashenga]]; teenage-activist [[Queen Divine Justice]] who joins the Dora Milaje; or [[NYPD]] officer [[White Tiger (Kasper Cole)|Kasper Cole / White Tiger]].<ref name="THRNewby" />

By November 2022, Proximity Media was developing several series set in Wakanda.<ref name="VarietyNov2022CoverStory" /> In March 2023, journalist Jeff Sneider reported that Coogler and Disney were developing an animated series with the [[tentative title]] ''The Golden City'', referring to the Wakandan capital city [[Birnin Zana]];<ref name="AnimatedWakandaSeries" /><ref name="GoldenCityWorkingTitle" /> a production listing gave ''Golden City'' as the working title for the initial Wakanda-set drama series.<ref name="ProductionWeeklyMar2023" /><ref name="GoldenCityWorkingTitle" /> The following month, Marvel Studios executive Nate Moore said the studio had discussed multiple ideas for featuring ''Black Panther'' characters in Disney+ series but they did not want to detract from the "cinematic experience" of the MCU.<ref name="MooreApr2023" /> In December, [[Marvel Studios Animation]] head [[Brad Winderbaum]] officially announced the animated series as ''Eyes of Wakanda'', as part of a sizzle reel of the studio's 2024 series.<ref name="EyesOfWakanda" /> Coogler and Proximity Media were confirmed to be involved in the animated series,<ref name="EyesOfWakandaVariety" /><ref name="HarrisJan2024" /> and a [[showrunner]] was involved by then.<ref name="BernardinDec2023" /> ''[[Deadline Hollywood]]'' noted the potential for ''Eyes of Wakanda'' to explore the Dora Milaje and the character [[Okoye (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Okoye]].<ref name="EyesOfWakandaDeadline" /> ''[[IGN]]'' and ''[[ComicBook.com]]'' believed ''Eyes of Wakanda'' could be a previously-reported Okoye-led series,<ref name="EyesOfWakandaIGN" /><ref name="EyesOfWakandaComicBook" /> but it was unclear if these were the same series.<ref name="EyesOfWakandaTotalFilm" /><ref name="EyesOfWakandaComingSoon" /> Stephanie Holland at ''[[The Root (magazine)|The Root]]'' compared the premise to the animated ''[[Star Wars]]'' series ''[[Star Wars: Tales|Tales of the Jedi]]'' (2022–present), which similarly follows different characters at different times. Holland believed that ''Eyes of Wakanda'' could explore Okoye becoming a general and her relationship with [[W'Kabi (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|W'Kabi]]; the history between T'Challa's parents T'Chaka and [[Ramonda (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Ramonda]]; or Wakanda's involvement in world conflicts during different time periods.<ref name="EyesOfWakandaTheRoot" />

Todd Harris was revealed in January 2024 to have [[Pitch (filmmaking)|pitched]] the series to Marvel Studios and Coogler. He previously served as a storyboard artist at Marvel Studios.<ref name="HarrisJan2024" /> Winderbaum confirmed that Harris was the creator and director of the series later that year.<ref name="WinderbaumHarris" /><ref name="WinderbaumHarris2" /> Harris also serves as executive producer, alongside Coogler, Winderbaum, Feige, D’Esposito, Zinzi Coogler, Sev Ohanian, Kalia King, and [[Dana Vasquez-Eberhardt]].<ref name="ProjectProfile" /> Ideas for the series had begun while Coogler was filming ''Black Panther''.<ref name="D23PanelComicBook" /> Marvel Studios reportedly spent nearly $20&nbsp;million on an animated series between June 2022 and June 2023, which was believed to be ''Eyes of Wakanda''.<ref name="ForbesJul2024" />

=== Writing ===
''Eyes of Wakanda'' follows the Hatut Zaraze, Wakandan warriors who, throughout history, have traveled the world to retrieve dangerous [[Vibranium (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|vibranium]] artifacts,<ref name="ProjectProfile" /> and it is centered on the legacy of the Black Panther as that mantle is passed down over generations.<ref name="EyesOfWakandaCollider" /> Winderbaum said the series explores Wakanda's history and mythology, and it is set in the MCU's [[Sacred Timeline]] along with [[List of Marvel Cinematic Universe films|the films]] and [[List of Marvel Cinematic Universe television series#Marvel Studios series|live-action series]]. This differentiates it from many other Marvel Animation series which are usually set in alternate universes from the main MCU.<ref name="WinderbaumHarris" /><ref name="WinderbaumHarris2" /> Being set within the Sacred Timeline allowed the creators to conceive the various storytelling opportunities ''Eyes of Wakanda'' presented in the MCU's past by working backward from the "existing framework" of the films.<ref name="D23PanelComicBook" /> [[Marc Bernardin]], who previously worked as a writer on the video game ''[[Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra]]'' (2025), wrote two episodes of the series by December 2023. He worked on them for nine months during the [[COVID-19 pandemic]].<ref name="BernardinEps" />

=== Casting and voice recording ===
In November 2024, [[Winnie Harlow]], [[Cress Williams]], [[Patricia Belcher]], Larry Herron, Adam Gold, [[Lynn Whitfield]], [[Jacques Colimon]], [[Jona Xiao]], Isaac Robinson-Smith, [[Gary Anthony Williams]], Zeke Alton, [[Steve Toussaint]], and [[Anika Noni Rose]] were revealed to have been cast in the series, with Cress voicing the Lion.<ref name="ProjectProfile" />

=== Animation ===
<!--Animation for the series is provided by X. -->''Eyes of Wakanda'' features a hand-painted animation style, inspired by contemporary African-American artists such as [[Ernie Barnes]], as well as illustrator [[Dean Cornwell]].<ref name="D23PanelComicBook" /><ref name="D23PanelCollider" /> Early work on the [[animatics]], along with character designs, had occurred by the series' announcement in December 2023.<ref name="BernardinDec2023" />

== Marketing ==
''Eyes of Wakanda'' was promoted by Coogler and Harris during Marvel Studios Animation's panel at the [[D23 (Disney)|D23]] convention in August 2024, where footage was shown.<ref name="2024D23PanelAnnounce" /><ref name="TVLineD232024" /><ref name="D23PanelComicBook" /> Footage from the series was included in a video that was released by Disney+ in October, announcing the release schedule for Marvel Television and Marvel Animation projects through the end of 2025.<ref name="Oct2024ReleaseDates" />
