Exclusive: Frederator Studios, the Wow! Unlimited Media entity behind the animated hit Adventure Time, is developing a new series based on Catbug, a property with demonstrated appeal in the Gen Z realms of TikTok and animated GIFs.
The company has begun shopping a Catbug series to streaming and linear networks, planning to supplement it with a social networking plan, short-form animated videos, e-books and web comics. Pendleton Ward, who created the long-running Adventure Time, is also the creator of Catbug.
The title character was created by Breehn Burns and featured in the Frederator digital series Bravest Warriors (run by Burns), which has drawn 25 million views and more than 400,000 likes on videos starring Catbug. On TikTok, the character has garnered 135 million views, while GIFs on Giphy.com featuring Catbug have recorded 200 million loops.
In addition to Adventure Time for Cartoon Network, Frederator’s credits include Castlevania for Netflix and Bee & Puppycat for YouTube channel Cartoon Hangover.
