Spin-Off TV Series About Groot Is In The Works

Marvel fans will be happy to hear that there's more in store from the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise, in the form of a brand new original series of shorts for Disney+.

The spin-off series will star everyone's favourite little tree.

Yep, that's right - the adorable Groot is officially getting his own show, appropriately titled I Am Groot.

According to Disney, the series is also set to feature 'several new and unusual characters.'

There's no word on whether Vin Diesel has been tapped to play the role for the TV series - the 53-year-old actor is the voice behind the alien superhero in the film franchise.
