Disney has released the first trailer and announced the release date for its new Mighty Ducks TV show for Disney+. The show, which is called The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers, will premiere on the streaming service on March 26.

That's nearly 30 years after the first movie premiered all the way back in 1992. The show brings back Emilio Estevez in his iconic role as coach Gordon Bombay, while Gilmore Girls star Lauren Graham plays a new character who is at the heart of the story. Check out the first trailer below.

Game Changers takes place in Minnesota and follows the youth hockey team the Mighty Ducks who are now an "ultra-competitive, powerhouse" compared to the original movies where the team was always the underdog. Now, the Mighty Ducks are the bad guys.

"After 12-year-old Evan Morrow (Brady Noon) is unceremoniously cut from the Ducks, he and his mom, Alex (Lauren Graham), set out to build their own team of misfits to challenge the cutthroat, win-at-all-costs culture of youth sports today," reads a line from the description. "With the help of Gordon Bombay, they rediscover the joys of playing just for love of the game."

The show also features a number of acting newcomers as the ice hockey teammates, including Maxwell Simkins, Swayam Bhatia, Luke Islam, Kiefer O’Reilly, Taegen Burns, Bella Higginbotham, and DJ Watts.

Mighty Ducks creator Steve Brill is returning as the co-creator and executive producer of Game Changers. There will be 10 episodes in the first season.
