In the finale episode, as Sofia, and siblings Amber and James, prepare for their graduation from Royal Prep Academy, Sofia is called back to the Mystic Isles to face an evil witch named Vor, who is trying to take over the kingdom of Enchancia. Presented with her biggest challenge yet, Sofia must figure out a way to defeat Vor and save her family and the people of Enchancia. “Sofia the First: Forever Royal” features recurring guest stars Eric Stonestreet as Minimus, Bonnie Hunt as Aunt Tilly, Andrew Rannells as Skye, Megan Hilty as Prisma, Ellie Kemper as Crackle, Ming-Na Wen as Vega, Colin Salmon as Orion, Jurnee Smollett-Bell as Chrysta, Paty Lombard as Vor and Hugh Bonneville as the Voice of the Secret Library.

Featuring over 100 episodes and two record-breaking primetime specials, “Sofia the First” will continue to air on Disney Junior and Disney Channel platforms around the world.

What do you think? Do your kids watch Sofia the First? Are you sad it’s ending?
I’m sad it ended! I’m 41 years old and have been watching since my daughter was a baby religiously. We really enjoyed the show she was the perfect princess. Guess we will keep just rewatching episodes:(
I am sad it ended and I am 26 years old, it was a great quality show and would have loved to see Sophia go on more adventures from the Library . It really felt like the show was cut short. 🙁
I am very sad to hear that they cancelled Sophia the first as it has been a staple in our household and my 10 year old actually asked me to google when new episodes were coming out and I read this post. So sad as it was a very positive and uplifting show and I felt good as a parent having my child watch it and enjoyed watching it with her.
my kids loved Sophia the first, and I admit it was the only cartoon i enjoyed watching with them. It was very well written and entertaining, I can’t believe they cancelled the show and replaced it with Vampirena, my kids wont even watch it.
My little girl was devastated! Still is when she ask to watch Sofia. This was the first princess she recognized and the reason she loves Disney Princesses. So sad to see the show go.
I am very upset that Sofia the first was cancelled. Why is it that all the good Disney series get cancelled!!?? I would love to see it make a come back. The show gave children of all ages good life long lessons. I hope with enough help from other viewers Disney will see its way to bring the show back. My oldest granddaughter was so excited to be able to go to Disney World in Florida and see Sofia. I have pictures of her excitement. Please reconsider!!
S my kid is also bcom upset for programes tat as been changed in disney junior,my humble request to kindly replace all old programes in desney junior
Sofia the First episodes are there on netflix. There are new episodes too.
Yes my girls loved watching Sofia the First and now it never comes on not even the reruns we are very sad
So sorry to see Sofia and Elena gone. I’m all for change, but the New Disney shows like Fancy Nancy, Vamparina, Mickey and the Roadster Racers don’t compare. I am a Grandmother who took a lesson from Sofia. Such a kind, loving, truthful, warm, and nurturing show. I watched it even when my Grandchildren went home for the day. Taught so many children respect, kindness, love, adventure, acceptance, and much more! All the moral values this world used to have. Sofia made you feel like all children have a chance today. Disney is significant of the Princess!!! Please bring her… Read more »
Very upset that Disney has decided to discontinue STF. My grandnieces (7 and 5) love Sofia and the 7-year-old grandniece has loved Sofia ever since she was born. She has almost all the produced merchandise (Dolls, Toys, Bedsheets, Stuffed Animals, DVDs, etc.) and was Sofia for Halloween twice. We were recently at Disney World and they had no Sofia items for sale at all. We were hoping to meet her at Hollywood Studios but they said it was her last day and Fancy Nancy (whom I despise with a burning passion) is taking her place!!! Disney Junior needs to bring… Read more »
Really sad to see the show go. This has so much potential for continued stories. My daughter has watched it from the beginning perhaps there could be a spin off with her as a protector and Amber and Edward more grown up and taking on their roles as knight of the realm. And queen. Reconsider. This show was great.
My grandkids are devastated that the show has been cancelled, especially my granddaughter. She mimics Sofia, she has to wear dresses because she’s a princess. This was a great series with great story’s. Sorry to see it go.
Im soooo sad it’s endingi’m 13 and iwatched it with my sisters and it got really intersesting why did you have to END IT?!!!!!
