Genius Brands International announced the premiere of several new episodes of its animated school series, “Rainbow Rangers.” The slate of new programs is set to air this fall, 11th October. “The support from Nick Jr. since the launch of Rainbow Rangers in 2018 has been amazing, and the upcoming October premiere dovetails nicely with the launch of our first toy line from Mattel in Walmart stores,” Jess Brinder, Vice President of International Distribution, said.

The third broadcast season of “Rainbow Rangers” will debut on Nick Jr.’s “Sunday Girls Rule” block at 11:00 a.m. with a Halloween-themed program, followed by subsequent episodes through 22nd November 2020. Some of the creatives who contributed to the show include Disney’s 'The Lion King' Director Rob Minkoff, Disney’s Frozen co-writer Shane Morris, Tim Mansfield, and New York Times Bestselling author and Emmy Award-nominated writer Elise Allen who serves as head writer and co-creator.
