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.

Disney Legend Russi Taylor (Minnie Mouse), Barbara Dirickson and Tress MacNeille (Daisy Duck), bring Fauna, Flora and Merryweather, respectively, to life.
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.
“Sofia the First” is executive produced by Jamie Mitchell and Craig Gerber. Mitchell also serves as director and Gerber developed the series and wrote the finale episode along with Michael G. Stern.

What do you think? Do your kids watch Sofia the First? Are you sad it’s ending?
So I’m 14 and when this show came out in 2012 I fell in love with it! now I find myself still watching it, and the series finally was excellent. I’m just sad to see it end.
My daughter and I are very dad that this show 8s ending. It’s a great show! Why does it have to end after only 4 seasons?
But I think 4 seasons is enough to end it, as long it has a good ending
I would very much like to see this series kept on…even if it as she continues on with her new journey! There is so much Disney could do with it…she is a strong, independent girl, something that we should be teaching all our children, but Disney takes it away instead of growing with it…Shame on you Disney!!
My children and I love this show. Please let it continue. So many more shows could come out of this. We are all going to be sad if this ends. Please reconsider on ending this show keep it going.
Very sad, finally a Disney show that attracts both genders and adults and you are ending it! There are so many directions the show can go what a shame. I don’t know what has gotten into Disney, they make shows that are crap and keep them the ones that teach children morals, honesty and manners they cancel. Rethink your decision for the sake of the children!!!!!!
This is one show that deserves to continue. The season 4 ending was powerful but there are so many things the writers could do with all of the depth of this show.
Please don’t stop here with Sofia. My daughter and I love this show! We are both so sad.
Just finished watching the last airing of Sofia the first. It was excellent, but i’m saddened that you can’t continue.. I was left wondering what is going to happened next. I’m sure there are a lot of families who feel the same way. The new series you have brought on don’t even
compare to Sofia
What about going to all those other schools? It can’t end!!!! They need to continue! Please!! There are many more adventures and stories and missions she can go on! Don’t stop the show please!!!!!!
They should return with a grown up young princess Sofia. A real new Disney princess.. Please dont let her go away this way.
F*** that for not making a fifth season of Sofia i wish they’d make a sequel when she gets older as a protector please Disney I’m begging you grownups watch this too you owe it to us i love fantasy we also love tangled, star vs the forces of evil and Elena of Avalor please do not end these make sequels when their older Especially Sofia the first its my favorite Disney show please do not cancel this if there’s only four seasons I’m begging you to make a sequel when shes a protector!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sofia the First is one of the best TV shows that Disney has produced in awhile. I was anxiously waiting to see what would happen to Sofia and how she would protect the rest of the Wicked Nine items. What would ever happen to Sofia? Maybe Disney can create a new show that will branch off of Sofia the First, calling it Sofia the First: Protector For All. In this series, it will demonstrate good character qualities like bravery, etiquette, being a young lady, etc. It will also finish what Disney started with the story concerning the Mystic Isles.

It’s so sad knowing that my children’s favorite T.V. Show is ending, when they absolutely love Sofia the First and all of the amazing adventures that she embarks on, especially when she is now one of the “Protectors” how will anyone ever know about her journey as a Protector?! I hate that Disney brings in all these adorable adventurous T.V. shows and children everywhere fall in love with them and then they abruptly decide to cancel them!! So many new shows aired in the past few years and none of them are even showed anymore! Just to name a few… Read more »
I agree completely Sofia was the best. I hope they bring her back somehow and show her protector duties, they can’t just end it here, can they?
I feel the same when Doc Mcstuffins ended, but sadder than you. I blame the TV for that and I banged the TV with my handmade fleece blanket and I vowed that I will not turn my head to any Disney Junior Princess Shows again. So I don’t feel sad that Sofia ended.
My granddaughter is going to be so sad. I record them and she watches them over and over.
Not surprising as Disney ends most of their shows with four seasons
Yes I am sad we all love Sofia the first. My granddaughter is having her 6th birthday party. With Sofia as the theme. Gift bags and everything.
