From Paris to the world, Hari has built one of today's most distinctive voices in family animation, and it's now evolving into a full story-house. Known worldwide for its smash-hit comedy "Grizzy & the Lemmings," the studio creates not just individual series, but long-lasting universes that evolve across platforms, formats, and categories. With over 1.6 billion YouTube views annually, a Top 5 ranking among kids' shows on Netflix (ages 6+), and consistent top-three ratings across Europe's major broadcasters, "Grizzy & the Lemmings" has cemented its place as one of the most successful global kids' properties today.
The brand is accelerating into full 360° franchise mode, and Hari recently appointed new licensing agents —Active Merchandising (Germany), License Connection (Benelux), El Ocho (Spain & Portugal), and LIT Licensing (Nordics) — who join Retail Monster (USA, UK, Canada) to form a best-in-class international network. Together, they're tasked with carrying the brand's signature humor and energy into homes worldwide, spanning publishing, toys, apparel, food, and beyond.
Momentum is already strong, with partners such as KFC (QSR), Hachette (publishing), Fashion UK (Primark apparel), Hatier (extracurricular books), Coraya (food), Ludistri, and Savana/Blackrock Games (board games). The program was recently recognized with the Special Jury Award at the 2025 Licensing Awards for its inventive UHU collaboration. On screen, "Grizzy & the Lemmings" amplifies the chaos while staying true to the show's trademark humor. The fourth season is currently airing worldwide and will make its Netflix debut in early 2026. Looking ahead, a fifth season, "Grizzy & the Lemmings: Time Travel," is already greenlit, transporting the slapstick comedy into brand-new environments, including the Jurassic era of the dinosaurs. At the same time, the universe is expanding for younger audiences with "Baby Lemmings", a preschool spin-off premiering in 2026 across more than 150 countries. The series reinvents slapstick comedy for younger viewers with a gentle twist, welcoming children into the Grizzy universe from the very start of their viewing journey.
EXPANDING THE STORY-HOUSE
While Grizzy leads the charge, Hari's broader portfolio is also gaining traction. "Mystery Lane," a detective adventure comedy à la Scooby-Doo meets Sherlock Holmes set in London, is now in production on its second season following a breakout European debut. Dubbed in 18 languages, it already has publishing deals in place and new conversations underway in key territories.
At the same time, "The Weasy Family" is being rolled out across major European broadcasters, including France Télévisions, BBC, and Super RTL. Positioned as the first "slapstick with heart," the show brings to life a wonderfully chaotic yet deeply loving family, pairing Hari's trademark visual comedy with a warm, character-driven core. Highly relatable in its portrayal of family dynamics, while also laugh-out-loud funny, the result reflects the studio's evolving editorial DNA. "For us, every extension, whether it's a new format, a platform, or a licensing product, is another way for our stories to grow and connect with families beyond the screen. It's about nurturing that bond and building long-lasting connections with families worldwide, as our universe continues to thrive across generations," Kido Prigent, Hari's Director of Strategic Partnerships & Financing, explained. That vision is driving Hari's growth across both content and consumer touchpoints. Alongside its strong TV presence, the studio is building momentum in licensing, accelerating on YouTube and FAST channels, and advancing in film, games, and digital spaces.
