Watch Next announced the production of its new 2D animated series, “Wild Kat,” in collaboration with Gulli and Super RTL. Created and developed at the Parisian studio, this series promises to immerse young viewers in a captivating universe where adventure, action, and comedy intertwine. The series has also been developed with financial backing from Creative Europe Media, CNC, SOFITVCINE, PROCIREP, and ANGOA.
“Wild Kat” is set in a world much like our own, but where certain individuals can transform into human-animal hybrids known as Werelings. Kat is one of them. Along with her companions, Idris and Dimitri, she is tasked with stopping those who misuse their transformations for malicious purposes, all while adjusting to her new life as a middle school student.
“Wild Kat” is an original 26-episode series, each 22 minutes long, distinguished by its unique blend of fantasy and adventure, infused with humor and action. The series tackles themes such as identity and self-acceptance, which will resonate with children and pre-teens alike.
Sylvain Huchet, producer and co-creator of the series, and Jérémy Guiter, director and co-creator, stated: "With ‘Wild Kat,’ we wanted to create an action-packed series with spectacular battles that still captures the emotions experienced by its characters. Kat and her friends are not superheroes, but teenagers facing age-related challenges, particularly those of identity and difference. It is this sensitivity and immersive quality that make the series unique and will, we believe, resonate with the young audience."
