HARI is further growing momentum for its worldwide smash-hit series Grizzy & the Lemmings as Cartoon Network acquires season three of the comedy show for airing on its US channel this month following its previous success with audiences.
The deal comes as the series is recommissioned for a fifth season by France Télévisions, with presales to the BBC, Warner Bros Discovery (WBD) and Super RTL, and, in further deals, WBD has renewed seasons one to three for its channels across EMEA and the APAC regions.
Grizzy & the Lemmings season five will take the beloved characters into the realms of time travel for the first time, from the age of dinosaurs to iconic moments in history, where chaos inevitably follows in their own inimitable way.
One of the most successful global kids’ properties today and celebrating its tenth anniversary in 2027, International Emmy-nominated Grizzy & the Lemmings is hugely popular, fast-paced, non-dialogue slapstick comedy that follows the hilarious rivalry between Grizzy – a grumpy bear who claims the ranger’s house as his own – and a tribe of fearless lemmings who turn his quiet life into chaos.
The long-running international success continues to build its cross-platform presence and co-viewing engagement across linear broadcast, SVOD, AVOD, and FAST channels. It is a consistent top three rated show on the BBC, France Télévisions and Super RTL and achieves over 2B views per year on YouTube. It is also a Top 10 series on Netflix for kids 6+ including the U.S. where it also airs on Roku, Amazon Prime and Pluto TV.
Sophie “Kido” Prigent, Director of Strategic Partnerships & Financing at HARI, said:
“We’re thrilled that Cartoon Network US has once again committed to Grizzy & the Lemmings. As one of the world’s most iconic cartoon brands, Cartoon Network is a fantastic home for Grizzy, and its renewed commitment is a powerful endorsement of the momentum the franchise has built in the U.S. Nearly a decade after launch, Grizzy has become a global franchise, reaching audiences across every major viewing platform while our licensing programme continues to grow. The continued commitment of partners around the world is a testament to the strength and longevity of the brand- and another exciting milestone for HARI as we continue to build globally recognised franchises.”
