12/16/2023 - Kiara-centric framing story for "TLK: Mufasa"
https://twitter.com/HollywoodHandle/status/1735020396523458605?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw
It appears that The Lion King: Mufasa will feature a framing device in which Rafiki, Timon, and Pumbaa tell Kiara about the legend of their grandfather.
The source for this information appears to be a tweet unrelated to any official spokesperson, but it seems plausible enough as a premise.
11/10/2023 - "Mufasa" Release Delayed Till December 2024
The newly updated release date for Mufasa: The Lion King, previously set for July 5, 2024, has been pushed back to December 20, 2024, largely as a result of the recently resolved SAG-AFTRA strike.
This puts the movie on a release date that coincides with Sonic the Hedgehog 3.
09/22/2022 - Mufasa Details from Barry Jenkins
A brief article that gives us a bit of insight into the structure of the upcoming prequel:
As confirmed on the D23 stage, Rafiki, Timon, and Pumbaa would use flashbacks to tell the story of the monarch of Pride Rock in Mufasa: The Lion King. Seth Rogen, Billy Eichner, and John Kani, respectively, provided the voices for these characters in the 2019 motion picture The Lion King. James Earl Jones first played Mufasa in the Disney movie in 1994, and he reprised the role for the 2019 remake.

You know... you're starting to sound like my father.
Good. At least one of us does.
