DeAPlaneta Entertainment has teamed up with SUPERPROD GROUP once again to introduce a new hero: Underdog is a fearless dog who, alongside other super-powered canines, protects the inhabitants of Capitol City from villains trying to take over the metropolis.

The series was developed by SUPERPROD ANIMATION and is produced in its Paris and Angoulême studios in France as well as Red Monk’s studios in Milan, Italy. Currently in production with Gulli/M6, Red Monk Studio, and RAI, Underdog is an animated comedy series aimed at children ages 5 to 8. The first season will consist of 52 11-minute episodes.

DeAPlaneta Entertainment holds the media rights for Spain, Portugal, and Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), as well as the merchandising and brand licensing rights worldwide, excluding the United States and French and Italian-speaking territories. SUPERIGHTS, SUPERPROD GROUP distribution arm, is selling other territories throughout the world. The series is scheduled for global launch fall 2025.

Underdog is a reboot of the classic American cartoon series originally created in the 60’s and distributed all over the world. The character's last screen appearance was in the Underdog live-action film (distributed by Walt Disney Pictures).

Carlos Biern, Content and Media Sales Director of DeAPlaneta Kids & Family, commented on this new production: “Underdog has all the qualities we look for in our series, with an ingenious and attractive concept that gives a different dimension to the figure of superheroes. We are very much looking forward to sharing it with audiences, and we are also excited to be working again with SUPERPROD ANIMATION, with whom we share a common vision of family entertainment.”

Clément Calvet and Jérémie Fajner, co-founders of SUPERPROD GROUP, say “Underdog aims to be the ideal introductory superhero for young childrenkids: a delightfully goofy, genuinely kind dog superhero, backed by an awesome team, who takes on wonderfully mischievous, hilariously wicked  supervillains. We're thrilled to team up again with DePlaneta Kids & Family to bring this fresh, super-powered comedy to viewers globally.”

Prior to Underdog, DeAPlaneta Entertainment and Superprod Animation have previously collaborated on That's Joey! and Helen's Little School.
