Netflix & ViacomCBS International Studios Team for Sharkdog

Netflix and ViacomCBS International Studios (VIS) have teamed up on Sharkdog, an animated series from Singaporean creator Jacinth Tan.

The 20×7-minute animated series is produced by VIS, in partnership with Singapore-based CGI animation studio One Animation, and will premiere in 2021. The show follows 10-year-old Max and his best friend Sharkdog—half shark, half dog, all appetite.

Sharkdog marks VIS’s first internationally originated global animated series for Netflix. It is also the first animated series from Singapore to come out of Nickelodeon’s Global Animated Shorts Program, designed to identify and develop long-form original comedy-driven content for kids globally.
