By: Caryn Robbins Aug. 18, 2016
Outfit7, the entertainment company behind the hugely successful ALKING TOM AND FRIENDS franchise, today announces the greenlight for season two of ALKING TOM AND FRIENDS: THE SERIES, set to premiere in 2017. The entire all-star voice cast, including 2016 with Golden Globe-nominee Colin Hanks ("Fargo," "Mad Men," "Dexter") as Talking Tom, and Tom Kenny ("SpongeBob SquarePants," "Adventure Time With Finn & Jake") as Talking Hank, return to the small screen for 52 brand new episodes full of adventures, hijinks and inventions. With the recent success of reaching more than 4.7 billion downloads as a franchise, the entertainment company has kept the momentum going with over 820 million views for its series on Youtube and the Youtube Kids app since the premiere in April 2015.
"We are thrilled to move forward with our second season of Talking Tom and Friends, right on the heels of the successful launch of Talking Tom Gold Run," said Samo Login, founder and CEO of Outfit7. "The creative team, including animators, writers and voice talent, have all worked tirelessly to make this the best season yet, and we could not be more proud of the result."
Created and produced by Outfit7 and arx anima, season two of Talking Tom and Friends: The Series brings 52 x 11-minute episodes featuring Talking Tom, Talking Hank, Talking Angela, Talking Ben and Talking Ginger as they embark on a new round of hilarious escapades and awesome adventures. Armed with cameras, gear and plenty of innovative ideas, the new season follows the entire bunch as they make their own show from the (relative) comfort of Tom's garage. While their adventures and inventions never quite turn out as planned, together the team is an unstoppable force of fun.
In addition to the return of Golden Globe-nominee Colin Hanks as Tom and Tom Kenny as Hank, the series welcomes back the entire all-star voice cast, including Youtube star Lisa Schwartz ("Party Girl"), James Adomian ("Comedy Bang Bang!," "Gravity Falls"), Maria Bamford ("Lady Dynamite," "WordGirl") and Tom Martin ("The Simpsons," "WordGirl") as head writer. Talking Tom and Friends: The Series was also recently named the 'Best Animated Series' for 2016 by Cablefax Program Awards.
The series can be viewed on the Talking Tom and Friends Youtube Channel as well as on the Youtube Kids app, with season one returning from break on September 22, 2016. Viewers and fans can also celebrate Talking Tom's birthday with the whole bunch by joining the Facebook extravaganza today!
