Disney's "Secret Society of Second-Born Royals" Stars Niles Fitch as First Black, Live-Action Disney Prince

Disney's first Black live-action prince has finally arrived in the year 2020. Per Entertainment Weekly, actor Niles Fitch, who's best known for his role as young Randall on This Is Us, will play a character named Prince Tuma in a new Disney+ movie, Secret Society of Second-Born Royals.

Secret Society, which also stars Pitch Perfect's Skylar Astin and Andi Mack alum Peyton Elizabeth Lee, is a sci-fi film about second-born royals who are gifted with special powers that help them protect the world. The young royals have to learn how to harness their powers and use them for good, so they're taken to a special school and led by Professor James Morrow, played by Skylar. Prince Tuma, Niles's character, is said to be "charismatic" — his "super-human ability is vital to the team's success, but his self-centered nature needs a lesson in empathy," his bio reads, per Disney+.

Niles shared the exciting news on his Instagram, writing, "Welcome Disney’s first Black prince." EW also released first-look photos of the entire cast, which you can check out below. The full cast includes Peyton Elizabeth Lee as Sam, Skylar Astin as James, Olivia Deeble as Roxana, Niles Fitch as Tuma, Faly Rakotohavana as Matteo, Isabella Blake Thomas as January, Elodie Yung as Queen Catherine, Ashley Liao as Eleanor, Noah Lomax as Mike, and Greg Bryk as Inmate 34.

Disney has in recent years come under fire for its lack of racial diversity. Late last year, actor Christian Navarro called the company out for casting a white Prince Eric in the upcoming live-action adaptation of The Little Mermaid. And in 2017, Zendaya revealed that she went back to Disney Channel because she saw a lack of diversity and wanted to ensure representation for viewers of all races.

Disney is moving in a better direction with Secret Society, and we can't wait to see Niles bring Prince Tuma to life when the movie begins streaming this summer!
