Ah yes, The Mickey Mouse Club. It was a variety show created by Walt Disney that featured talented children. Later a reboot came out in the ’90s that had some Mouseketeers that you might recognize like Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, and Ryan Gosling. Now it’s getting another revival, but this time it will be as a new digital program called Club Mickey Mouse.

Disney has released a video spotlighting eight new cast members with different talents including a rap artist, dancer, and country crooner. Check it out below!

As a digital program, it will be one of the first created entirely for social media. You’ll be able to follow the new Mouseketeers on their journey of new music, choreography, and friendship starting today via Facebook and Instagram.

The show will go on for seven weeks as the Mouseketeers write their own songs and choreograph their dances. Each week viewers will get to see the work pay off in a music video. In addition, the original music will be made available under Walt Disney Records via online music stores with the new “Club Mickey Mouse” theme song releasing on September 12, 2017.
