Disney's The Owl House is about to make an unexpected comeback with a new title that already looks amazing.

In a social media post, The Owl House creator and showrunner Dana Terrace revealed the cover for the upcoming graphic novel, The Owl House: The Long-Lived King. Written by Terrace alongside Mikki Crisostomo and illustrated by Daun Han, The Owl House: The Long-Lived King will bring readers back to the Demon Realm for what is sure to be another action-packed adventure through the Demon Realm.

The original The Owl House animated series premiered on Disney Channel in 2020 and immediately established a foothold with young audiences looking for a new fantasy adventure. The series revolves around 14-year-old Luz Noceda, who unwittingly stumbles through a portal into the Demon Realm and uncovers an entire world of fantastical and terrifying characters and concepts.

After crossing paths with Eda Clawthorne, a rebellious witch better known as the Owl Lady, Luz finds a new home for herself within the Owl House, not to mention a new family to call her own. Throughout the series, Luz traverses the Demon Realm, makes more incredible friends such as King and Hooty, and fights tirelessly to protect both her adopted and native worlds from threats such as the evil Emperor Belos and the impossibly powerful Collector.

The Owl House was lauded by critics and audiences alike upon its release, and continued to do so across its entire 3-season run on Disney Channel. As of the time of writing, The Owl House holds a perfect 100% "Fresh" rating via review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, as well as an 82% audience-generated "Popcornmeter" score.
