Set between the end of the feature film and the start of Tangled Ever After, the animated series unfolds as Rapunzel acquaints herself with her parents, her kingdom and the people of Corona. Her irrepressible spirit and natural curiosity about the world drives her to the realization that there is so much more she needs to learn before she can truly accept her royal destiny. She boldly puts her crown and impending marriage on hold to seek out epic adventures, much to the dismay of the King who, after missing out on Rapunzel's youth, must accept that his daughter is now an independent young woman. Accompanying Rapunzel on her journey will be Eugene; the plucky chameleon sidekick, Pascal; the no-nonsense horse, Maximus; The Snuggly DucklingPub Thugs; and newcomer Cassandra, a tough-as-nails handmaiden, who becomes Rapunzel's confidant.
Season Two finds Rapunzel venturing outside of the kingdom in search of where the mystical Black Rocks lead, after discovering she is somehow connected to them. Accompanying Rapunzel on her journey is her partner in life, Eugene; her best friend and confidante, Cassandra; her loyal chameleon sidekick, Pascal; no-nonsense and dutiful horse, Maximus; Eugene’s best friend, Lance and the Snuggly Duckling Pub Thugs. Together, they will discover new people and places and embark on an incredible new adventure far beyond Corona’s walls.
In the season three premiere, Rapunzel returns to the kingdom of Corona only to find that it has been taken over by an old enemy. Still reeling from Cassandra’s betrayal, Rapunzel must use her inner strength to save Corona and its people, including her parents, King Frederic and Queen Arianna, and turn Cassandra back over to the good side. Sticking by her side are her partner in life; Eugene, her loyal chameleon sidekick, Pascal; no-nonsense and dutiful horse, Maximus; and Eugene’s best friend, Lance.
The third season was stopped for a bit after the 10th episode.
Storyboard artists for the series, Kaitlyn Ritter and Anna Lencioni, pitched an idea for a comic spin-off focusing on Varian titled Varian and the Seven Kingdoms, which saw Varian teaming up with new friends to discover the seven alchemical transformations.[3] According to Ritter, while Disney was enthusiastic with the project and even received support and encouragement, they ultimately passed as they felt that a series that focused on a Rapunzel-related character without Rapunzel would be risky. Disney even suggested changing Varian to a completely original character so as to be an original brand, but Ritter and Lencioni refused.[4]
Each season has three hour-long episodes: One for the premiere, one marking the mid-season, and one for the finale.
The series is shown to go through a time-line of 3 years as indicated with several episodes.
"Secret of the Sun Drop" takes place on Rapunzel's 19th birthday, exactly one year after the events of the original film.
The Dark Kingdom flashbacks in Season 2, as revealed in "Destinies Collide" indicate that Eugene is 25 years of age around that season.
The episode "Beginnings" notes that Rapunzel and Cassandra were friends for 2 years prior to her betrayal at the end of Season 2.
"Rapunzel's Return" depicts the floating lanterns in the sky, indicating her 20th birthday.
"Cassandra's Revenge" takes place 6 months after Rapunzel's parents' anniversary, which as seen in Season 1, takes place several months before Rapunzel's birthday. This would mean that Rapunzel had already turned 21 prior to the episode.
All of this indicates that Rapunzel and Eugene are 21 and 26 years old by the events of Tangled Ever After.
Season 3 was set to have 36 episodes, but was shortened to 17.
