According to the studio, the first episode of the weekly series will be available to download from iTunes, Xbox Live, Microsoft Zune and PlayStation Network on June 23.
Inspired by Reginald Hudlin and John Romita Jr's graphic novel of the same name, the storyline tells the title character's origin and pits him against the villain Klaw.
"The positive responses to news of the show have been so overwhelming, it's great to finally make the Black Panther series available to everyone," said Hudlin.
"Audiences get caught up on many levels - seeing John Romita Jr's art come to life; the quality of the voice work by an award winning cast; the boldness of the politics, the music and humour. But see it for yourself."
The series features voice work from Djimon Hounsou, Jill Scott, Kerry Washington, Alfre Woodard, Carl Lumbly, and former Marvel president Stan Lee in a cameo role.
Black Panther: Who Is The Black Panther? will run for 12 episodes.
