A pair of animated preschool series leads the slate that Genius Brands International brings to the market.

One is Rainbow Rangers, a girl-skewing adventure that is currently in production for a premiere on Nick Jr. in the U.S. next year, and the other is Llama Llama, which is due to debut as a Netflix original in early 2018.

Rainbow Rangers “is truly empowering and each storyline is designed to show young viewers the importance of working together,” says Deb Pierson, the senior VP of global content distribution and marketing, and president of Kid Genius Cartoon Channel, at Genius Brands International. “Llama Llama is a gender-neutral series [about] the trials and tribulations of every child’s first experiences.”

The company will also be showcasing SpacePOP, a musical animated series for tweens.

“In addition to our children’s content, we are continuing to expand the reach of our digital Kid Genius Cartoon Channel,” adds Pierson.
