Nickelodeon and Hasbro's eOne are teaming up for a brand-new Transformers animated series.
The series will be comprised of 26 half-hour episodes in which "a new species of Transformers must find their place and purpose among Autobots, Decepticons, and the human family that adopts them."
"As soon as I read the creative concept, which at its core is about family, I knew we absolutely had to tell this story with our good friends at eOne and Hasbro," Nickelodeon President of Animation Ramsey Naito said. "The series will tell a reimagined story featuring both original characters and fan-favorites for a whole new generation of kids and families. The creative team at Nick, overseen by Claudia Spinelli, SVP of Animation Development, can’t wait to get started on building this new world."
"We’re thrilled to be working with Nickelodeon to expand the Transformers animated universe and bring an all-new more than meets the eye story to life," eOne President of Family Brands Olivier Dumont added. "This new series is a fresh creative take on the brand, which will excite longtime fans around the world and soon to be fans alike, all being introduced to the robots in disguise by an A list creative team led by eOne’s Mikiel Houser."
Transformers will arrive on Nickelodeon in the United States at a yet-to-be-specified date before releasing internationally.
