Production Crew Mixes Final Episode Of "Harvey Beaks"

Cartoonist C.H. Greenblatt, the creator of the Harvey Beaks, has announced the bittersweet news in a post on his official Tumblr blog, Nerd Armada, that the production crew mixed the series finale episode of Nickelodeon's popular animated series on Friday 23rd June 2017. In his post, Carl shared a photo from the mixing suite, featuring a scene from the episode "The End and the Beginning", and revealed that in the series finale, we'll see Fee and Foo's parents, and how Harvey and the twins, Fee & Foo, became friends. Carl also revealed that the episode will feature a special story about friendship and family, which will summarize the whole point of the series, and that he's glad that he got to end the series this way.

We mixed the final half-hour of Harvey Beaks today. It has a lot going on. We meet Fee and Foo’s parents and we also see how Harvey and the twins became friends. I hope fans enjoy it because it’s a special story that summarizes the whole point of the series. I always told the crew the core of this show was friendship and family. Well this episode has that in spades. I’m glad I got to end it this way.

I don’t know exactly when the last batch of episodes will run, but I’ll spread the word as soon as I get the info.

In separate posts, Carl also revealed that if Harvey Beaks had been renewed for a third season, that seasons finale episode would have featured a story about Harvey’s grandpa, Roland, and what happened to his wife. Then he’d move in to the house and become a permanent part of family life, and teased that we'll find out what happened to Princess's mom in the upcoming season two episode “Princess Wants A Mom.”

Although airdates for the last batch of new Harvey Beaks episodes are yet to be announced, Nicktoons Africa is set to premiere the remaining episodes of Harvey Beaks season two in July 2017.

"Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir" Greenlit For Second And Third Seasons; Moving To New Timeslot On Nickelodeon USA

Jeremy Zag, the founder of Zag Entertainment, has announced the exciting news in a post on his official Instagram profile page, @Jeremy_Zag, that Zag and Toei Animation's popular CG-animated Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir television series has been renewed for two more seasons! The announcement was made on 20th November 2015.

Thomas Astruc, the creator and director of Miraculous, Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir, has revealed that both new seasons - season two and season three - will each feature 26 episodes, and will feature story arcs.

Additionally, Zap2it TV Listings is reporting that beginning Sunday 21st February 2016, brand-new episodes of Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir premiere every Sunday at the new time of 7:00pm ET/PT on Nick USA.

The 3D CG Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir series debuted in South Korea in September 2015, before premiering in the United States on Nickelodeon on December 6. The series is also airing in France and Australia, and will premiere in Canada, New Zealand, EMEA, Latin America, Italy, Brazil, Belgium, Switzerland, and Lithuania.

The 26-episode series follows two junior high students, Marinette and Adrien, chosen to save Paris from the evil doings of a mysterious super-villain. The storylines and adventures are rich with friends, family, fun, secret identity, transformation, villains, fashion, creativity and more, all within the spectacular backdrop of Paris.

As secret identity superheroes Ladybug and Cat Noir, Marinette and Adrien must balance the crazy antics of normal teen life while stopping weekly baddies deployed by Hawk Moth to steal their powers and take over the world. With the help of their magical kwami, Tikki and Plagg, and miraculous jewels, the duo transform into their alter egos, Ladybug and Cat Noir, and are granted powers of speed, strength, agility and a clear mind.

The series is a co-production between Zag, Method Animation, Toei Animation, and SamG, with the participation of TF1, Disney Channel EMEA, SK Broadband, and AB droits audiovisuels.

Zag Entertainment, Toei Animation, and Method Animation co-produced a 2D-animated promotional video for the project announcement before relaunching it as a CG-animated series. Zag and Toei Animation are co-producing a 2D-animated OVA for the series, though it will include Cat Noir's design from the 3D CG-animated series, not the older design used in the promotional video.

Bandai America unveiled its brand-new Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir toy line at the 2016 North American International Toy Fair. Targeted to girls ages 4-8, the Miraculous toy line is set to launch this Fall/Autumn at mass and specialty retailers across the world. Shout! Factory has also announced plans to release Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir on home video in North America later this year.

Targeted to girls ages 4-8, the Miraculous toy line will feature a robust assortment of toys centered on aspirational action play, transformation and friendship, including action dolls for girls, transformational role play, plush pets and fashion dolls, guaranteed to bring the Miraculous Ladybug brand to life. The range is set to launch this Fall/Autumn at mass and specialty retailers across the world.
