From what we have gathered, Anonymous had spilt the beans on the second season of 101 Dalmatian Street heading into pre-production. According to him, the executives of the Disney company have seen a growing demand for more of the obscure show. But, due to how much financial and marketing tasks they had to work through regarding bigger franchises like Star Wars, Marvel, and other big Disney names, the execs were unable to find the time to shift their focus on smaller shows like 101 Dalmatian Street... until now. Just several months ago, Disney had decided to place a meeting with the execs of Disney Europe to talk about the show's sudden growing demand in the USA.

Disney Execs are currently making back-and-forth discussions with executives from both Disney Television Animation to allow the show to be made by Disney TV Animation company, while making discussions on how they could expand upon 101 Dalmatian Street, both on world building and character story arcs. Anonymous also added that several people behind the Ducktales 2017 TV-series may be involved with the show's revival, stating that he had a brief talk with Matt Youngberg, the executive producer of the reboot at the building, who dropped a small hint saying: "I'm not going to go too deep on the subject. NDA stuff and all. Just that all I can say is that it's been a while since I've been involved in re-introducing a classic Disney property to a new audience."

Of course, discussions are still ongoing, but anonymous has stated that there's satisfaction on both sides.

So, from what we can gather from the journalists' info, it appears that Disney Television Animation is increasingly likely to run the helm for the show's second season. Anonymous went further to explain how the show will feel and look different in regard to its tone, animation, art-style and music. Which brings us to both good news and bad news.

The bad news regarding 101 Dalmatian Street's art direction is that the character designs will be more akin to that of CalArts, instead of Miklos Weigert's bubbly art-direction from Passion Animation that we've already gotten used to. In other words, if this turns out to be true, this means the folks from Passion Animation will not be involved in the show's second season. With 101 Dalmatian Street being an independant project, it seems highly likely that the British company that was directly involved with the art direction and story will take the helm for Season 2 this time around. 

The good news however is that the new art-style will only be altered at the modest, with distinctions on the facial character designs leaning slightly towards more to older-animated cartoons from the late 90's from Disney Television animation, but this style will likely assure 101DS fans that the new approach in the show's art design will still feel the same, even if the changes are modest. Anonymous went on to confirm that the character art designers from the Ducktales 2017 TV series are involved with the new art direction and have made a concept art showing Dylan and Dolly's new design.

But, with the Chris and Tom being very high-profile Hollywood actors, it's uncertain right now if they can form a good enough contract for them to star in an animated TV-show, especially with Tom Holland. But on a rare chance that they somehow do make an agreement with Hollywood, 101 Dalmatian Street will very likely be the very first animated TV show show that Tom Holland would assume a role as a character voice actor in. As for the cast reprising their roles for the show's characters, anonymous could gather enough info behind closed doors. 

But that wasn't all that anonymous had to report regarding the actors. He went even further in dropping the hat to explain how Disney have reportedly been in talks with top community members of 101 Dalmatian Street like Phrontistery to voice a side character for a certain episode. We went to speak directly Phron about the stunning revelation, to which he replied: "Yes. Me and the folks at Disney have been at it for a month or so, and I want this to be a huge surprise for the entire 101 Dalmatian Street fandom. I don't want the word about any of this to get out. I'm already violating the NDA enough as it is!" 

And that is everything we know about the rumored leaks about a possible Season 2 of 101 Dalmatian Street. Again, please take everything you've read in this Daily Puppy Newspaper with enormous grains of salt. Most of the source in this could end up changing in the future, but the strong hint of Phron being casted for a side-character for the show's revival is no doubt huge. We want to thank anonymous for providing us with the source and all the info he had written down for us. This latest revelation gives us high hopes that we may see more spotted misadventures of Dylan, Dolly and their spotted family on the horizon! Thank you all for reading, Dalmatian fans.
