Disney+ renews Marvel spin-off series for second season

Disney+ has announced the return of a popular Marvel spin-off series.

A second season of I Am Groot, focusing on the mischievous hero Baby Groot, will launch in just a few weeks. The series stars Vin Diesel as the voice of Baby Groot - who also voices the character in the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise.

Like the first season, which released in August last year, the second season will contain five short films as the much-loved Marvel character gets into a whole new world of mischief. Announcing the news on National Tree Day (August 7), Disney+ also released an official trailer and poster for the show's second instalment.
