Fortnite the TV show: Is Disney XD releasing a new Fortnite TV show?

Rumours of a Fortnite TV show have been swirling around recently, causing fans to get giddy with excitement.

Fortnite Battle Royale boasts 125 million players across the world, and many were confused by the rumours.

Fans were tweeting Disney XD to find out if the news was true.

One Fortnite gamer said: “Is there really a Fortnite TV show coming to Disney XD?”

Another was convinced about the news: “There’s gonna be a Fortnite TV show that’s gonna be covered by Disney. This’ll be the fall of either Fortnite or Disney, or both.”

Rumours of a Fortnite TV show started swirling after a Twitter account appeared to announce the release date of the show.

The announcement said: “Fortnite: The TV Show will premier on August the 12, 2019!”

So far the post, dated July 16, 2018, has been retweeted more than 3,700 times.

In a comment below “Disney XD” appeared to comment: “More announcements as well as a few sneak peaks will be revealed later this week, follow us to get the updates first!”.

The fake news was tweeted from the misspelt @DisnayXD account, which also had a globe icon next to its name to trick people into thinking it was a verified account.

To convince fans further, an IMDB entry for the alleged Fortnite TV show was added to the site.

The listing for the 2018 even listed Kenneth Cox, Nathaniel Leland, Edward de Winton and Alex Greenham as starring in the roles.
