Cartoon Network Preps Linear Premiere of Mighty Magiswords

BURBANK: Mighty Magiswords, which originally launched as a 15-second series last year on the CN Anything app, is due to debut as a linear show on Cartoon Network later this month.

Created by Kyle A. Carrozza (The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water), Mighty Magiswords follows Prohyas and Vambre, a sibling team of “warriors for hire” who go on heroic quests using wacky weapons called Magiswords. The Cartoon Network Studios comedy is slated to begin airing on September 29 at 6:30 p.m. A special sneak peek episode will be released on the Cartoon Network app tomorrow.

Mighty Magiswords is part of more than 400 pieces of original content connected by a forthcoming mobile app. Launching later this fall, the app will feature interactive shorts, narrative blogs presented by Prohyas and Vambre and a variety of digital games. The warriors will also serve as on-air hosts introducing Cartoon Network shows, events and more.

“Mighty Magiswords is custom-created for the way young audiences consume media today,” said Rob Sorcher, the chief content officer for Cartoon Network. “This is about how stories can be told in new ways and how a community can play together.”
