Layzell, who previously worked as an animator on Cartoon Network\u2019s\u00a0<em>The Amazing World of Gumball<\/em>, will serve as showrunner and executive producer for <em>Battle Kitty<\/em> on Netflix. A premiere date for the series has yet to be announced.<\/p>\n<p>When <em>Battle Kitty<\/em> bows on Netflix, it will feature the titular feline defeating Battle Island\u2019s monsters to earn the title of champion. Set in a futuristic-medieval world, the interactive series will see Kitty inviting kids to accompany her on her quest for victory.<\/p>\n<p>Layzell said: &#8220;Netflix has given me the incredible opportunity to help change how young people see themselves. Like Kitty, an aspirational underdog with a big spirit of determination, I want kids who feel small to realize instead that they can stand strong, have friends and go on to do amazing things.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Melissa Cobb, VP of kids and family at Netflix, added: &#8220;<em>Battle Kitty<\/em> is a mirror reflection of Matt himself\u2014an inspiring, surprising and incredibly fun show that is infused at every turn with huge amounts of both humor and heart. This series pushes the boundaries of storytelling in entirely new directions thanks to Matt\u2019s innovative interactive format, which will allow kids to engage in an expansive universe together with the most lovable new underdog, Battle Kitty.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Netflix is adding to its slate of originals with Battle Kitty, an animated interactive kids\u2019 series.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1033,"featured_media":16022,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[4412,138],"class_list":["post-16021","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-battle-kitty","tag-netflix","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Battle Kitty to Join Netflix Originals Roster - TVKIDS<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/battle-kitty-to-join-netflix-originals-roster\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Battle Kitty to Join Netflix Originals Roster - TVKIDS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Netflix is adding to its slate of originals with Battle Kitty, an animated interactive kids\u2019 series.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/battle-kitty-to-join-netflix-originals-roster\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVKIDS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2019-03-20T13:33:26+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/07\/battle-kitty-netflix-0319.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"450\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/battle-kitty-to-join-netflix-originals-roster\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/battle-kitty-to-join-netflix-originals-roster\/\",\"name\":\"Battle Kitty to Join Netflix Originals Roster - TVKIDS\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2019-03-20T13:33:26+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2019-03-20T13:33:26+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/battle-kitty-to-join-netflix-originals-roster\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/battle-kitty-to-join-netflix-originals-roster\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/battle-kitty-to-join-netflix-originals-roster\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Battle Kitty to Join Netflix Originals Roster\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/\",\"name\":\"TVKIDS\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\",\"name\":\"Chelsea Regan\",\"description\":\"Chelsea Regan is the managing editor of World Screen.
