CYBER GROUP AND BOOMERANG CONFIRM THE SECOND SEASON OF “TAFFY”

Paris and Los Angeles-based producer and distributor Cyber Group Studios and Boomerang International announced the second season of their original 2D HD animated comedy series “Taffy”. Based on an original creation by Cyber Group Studios and developed with Boomerang, season 2 of “Taffy” will consist of 78 brand new 7-minute episodes, expanding the property to a total of 156 episodes.

The hit series, which is selected for the official competition of Annecy 2020 International Animation Film Festival in the “TV Film” category, will air its second season on Boomerang across international markets and on major French network Gulli. Inspired by the world-renowned classic toons of Hanna Barbera, “Taffy’s” second season will be full of surprises, brimming with new adventures, comedy, new sets and characters.

“Taffy” follows the non-stop, slapstick misadventures of a loyal hound dog named Bentley after his billionaire old lady owner, Mrs. Muchmore, takes in a racoon imposter posing as a wide-eyed, fluffy angora cat. Each episode sees Bentley trying to reveal Taffy for the varmint that he is – while super-clever Taffy handily (and comically) turns the tables on the dog.

“It is a real pleasure for me as an author and producer to embark on this second season of ‘Taffy’ with our friends at Boomerang and to be also able to push the comedy limits of the series – taking Taffy, Bentley and Mrs. Muchmore on Summer and Winter vacations in lush locations, meeting new great personalities and characters,”  said Pierre Sissmann, Chairman & CEO, Cyber Group Studios.

Cecilia Persson, Vice President Programming & Content Strategy EMEA, Acquisitions & Co-Productions EMEA & International at Turner, added: “‘Taffy’ is a great success story, which stems from a valuable relationship with a European production partner to commission a series for Boomerang that can travel across international. The show is a perfect fit with our channel’s DNA and has enjoyed a strong performance – proving that this kind of comedy is truly universal”.
