Paramount and Spin Master are expanding the popular pre-school powerhouse with new TV show Rubble & Crew, which will reach audiences worldwide.
Paramount and Spin Master are building on the global success of Paw Patrol with the launch of Rubble & Crew, a brand-new animated spin-off centered around fan-favourite character Rubble. It will premiere in the US on Friday 3rd February at 11:30am (ET/PT), airing every Friday in this slot, and will continue to roll out on Nick Jr. channels internationally next year.
Produced by Spin Master Entertainment, Rubble & Crew (26 episodes) follows Rubble and his pup family as they use their construction vehicles to build and repair whatever the town of Builder Cove needs, in high-stakes adventures. The series marks the first television spin-off for pre-school powerhouse Paw Patrol, which celebrates its 10th anniversary in 2023. Rubble & Crew will air regularly in the US on Fridays on Nickelodeon and continue to roll out on Nick Jr. channels internationally next year.
“Every dog has its day, so we’re answering the fan demand for more of Paw Patrol’s beloved bulldog, Rubble, with his very own series that marks the TV expansion of the global Paw franchise,” said Ramsey Naito, president, Paramount Animation and Nickelodeon Animation. “Rubble & Crew is an all-new series focusing on family and community, and it’s filled with new characters and big adventures that lean into construction play patterns that will let the audience engage in a whole new way.”
“As a proud member of the Paw Patrol, Rubble has stolen the hearts of pre-schoolers around the world with his loyal, optimistic nature and penchant for treats,” said Jennifer Dodge, Spin Master’s president of Entertainment and executive producer. “Our new series expands Rubble’s world with storytelling that digs into amazing construction projects and the importance of family, combined with high-stakes action, fun adventures and messy demolition that pre-schoolers will love.”
In the community of Builder Cove, a neighbouring town to Paw Patrol’s Adventure Bay, lots of things are still needed for the community to come together, including a bigger airport, train station, bridges, tunnels, schools, fire stations, parks and more. Rubble and his pup cousins Mix, Wheeler, Charger and Motor, along with Grandpa Gravel and Auntie Crane, work together to tackle and build all the projects the town needs.
Following the series launch of Rubble & Crew, Paw Patrol’s 10th anniversary year in 2023 will culminate in October with the release of the movie sequel, Paw Patrol: The Mighty Movie, from Spin Master Entertainment, Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon Movies. Paw Patrol was also recently renewed for a 10th season (26 episodes), and Paw Patrol’s Chase will take to the sky once again as a balloon in this year’s 96th Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.
