The huge success of ABC’s “Disney Family Singalong” program this April has encouraged the network to produce a sequel event coming this Mother’s Day, May 10th.
The star-studded original program, which featured performances by Beyoncé, Ariana Grande, Demi Lovato and more, saw Hollywood entertainers cover classic songs from the Disney filmography. Produced from the safety of performers’ homes amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the event drew a 2.6 rating and around 10.3 MILLION viewers.
