Mattel Sets Upcoming Fall Slate

Mattel Studios’ upcoming fall slate features new episodes of Barbie Mysteries, Barney’s World and Polly Pocket, as well as a new Thomas & Friends special.

On August 28, Barbie Mysteries: Beach Detectives, the second season of the Barbie Mysteries series, will bow on Netflix. The eight new episodes will see Barbie “Malibu” Roberts and Barbie “Brooklyn” Roberts head to the Malibu Beach Bash festival to work the food stands with their friends.

Ten new 11-minute episodes of Barney’s World will debut on HBO Max on September 1 and then begin to air on Cartoon Network on September 5. After that, 12 new episodes will drop on HBO Max on November 3 and start broadcasting on Cartoon Network on November 7.

On October 16, Netflix will debut Thomas & Friends: Sodor Sings Together, a 60-minute special in which the big Sodor Sings Festival is disrupted when an errant operatic note shatters things around the island, leading Thomas on a quest to find new lights, lost engines, missing workers and something to replace a water-logged Calliope.

A 13-episode sixth season of Polly Pocket will bow on Prime Video this fall as well, as will a 66-minute special. In the series, each episode sees Polly Pocket and friends explore new pocket-sized worlds, discovering that each new place is filled with potential new friends.
