Rainbow Rangers – Picture: Genius Brands International
Netflix is set to license the first season of the animated kids series Rainbow Rangers. At least 26 episodes of the show are expected, and it is due to be released on Netflix in multiple regions in July 2021.
Netflix in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the Middle East will receive at least one season of the show at some point in July 2021. HBO Max and Prime Video are expected to carry the show in most regions. You can see an additional region breakdown via a press release via Genius Brands.
The show has already aired in the United States, with Kartoon Channel! and Nick Jr. premiering it in November 2018.
Directed by Sean Scott, the first season of Rainbow Rangers follows seven magical girls who act as guardians of the Earth and nature as a whole (all while sporting colors of the rainbow).
Each episode is around 11 minutes long, and the first season is expected to be 26 episodes long on Netflix, although 52 episodes were initially commissioned across two seasons.
Whether season 2 will come to Netflix is unknown, but it is expected at some point. Season 3, however, will be exclusive to Kartoon Channel!, which is owned by Genius Brands International. Its addition to Netflix and other services will likely be to engage audiences and then search for future seasons. Whether this works in practice is another story.
Over recent years, Netflix has heavily invested in kids’ content, whether through a deal with Dreamworks TV, massive investment in Netflix Animation, or picking deals like this one. In recent months, Netflix picked has licensedurfs and has also been licensed titles from Nickelodeon.
