Big Hero 6 Spinoff Baymax! to Premiere June 29 on Disney+

Baymax has returned to save the world, one patient at a time.

To mark National Streaming Day, Disney+ has released the trailer for Baymax!, where the titular robot sets out to help people, whether they want him to or not.

The all-new series of healthcare capers, which will premiere on Disney+ on June 29, returns to the fantasy metropolis of San Fransokyo, where Baymax, “the affable, inflatable, inimitable healthcare companion robot,” sets out to do what he’s programmed to do: help others.

“I thought it would be fun to do a Disney+ series with Baymax interacting with normal folks,” said series creator Don Hall, who helmed 2014’s Oscar-winning film Big Hero 6, in a statement. “In each of our six episodes, Baymax just wants to help someone—and a lot of times, they don’t want to be helped. He sets out to fix a physical issue that he’s identified, and in the process, gets to a deeper, more emotional place and can be almost transformative in that role.”
