A brand-new extension of the Ryan’s World franchise, Super Spy Ryan is set to launch on Amazon Kids+ later this month.

The hybrid live-action and animation special, which stars YouTube sensation Ryan Kaji, was created by Sunlight Entertainment, the Kaji family’s production company, to expand the Ryan’s World universe into the animated space. Super Spy Ryan will be available exclusively on Amazon Kids+ starting November 27 in the U.S., U.K. and Canada and in Germany and Japan in December. It marks the first time Amazon Kids+ is working with a creator to launch an original long-form show.

“The appetite for great kids and family entertainment continues to build momentum, as evidenced by the demand we’ve seen on a global scale around our franchises featuring YouTube creators like Ryan,” said Chris Williams, founder and CEO of pocket.watch. “We’re focused now, more than ever before, on finding the best partners to bring these beloved stars to kids and families amid these challenging times. In just three years, we’ve been able to deliver Ryan’s World everywhere kids are—in stores, on tablets and television screens, within games, even at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade—so we’re thrilled to cap off another incredible year with Amazon Kids+ for their first-ever original.”

“Bringing Super Spy Ryan as the first original on Amazon Kids+ is a dream come true for us,” said Shion Kaji, Ryan’s father and founder of the family’s production company, Sunlight Entertainment. “The time and effort that went into production from our team was extensive and highly rewarding at the same time. We’re so grateful for the support we’ve received from Ryan’s fans around the world, and are excited for kids to follow Ryan on this brand-new adventure, Super Spy Ryan.”

“We’re excited to collaborate with pocket.watch and Ryan Kaji to introduce Super Spy Ryan, an original long-form show with one of the most beloved kid creators,” said Kurt Beidler, general manager of Amazon Kids. “We hope families will have fun watching his latest adventure together over the holiday.”
