LOS ANGELES — Wakanda’s story expands beyond the borders of its hidden nation with the debut of “Eyes of Wakanda,” a new animated action-adventure four episode series. Produced in partnership with Proximity Media’s Zinzi Coogler, Sev Ohanian, and Kalia King, the series explores the exploits of the Hatut Zaraze, brave Wakandan warriors tasked with safeguarding Vibranium artifacts from falling into enemy hands throughout history.
