Nickelodeon has tapped Finnish animation studio Gigglebug to produce
Super Duper Bunny League, the network's upcoming new adventure-comedy preschool series based on Jamie Smart’s kids comic book series.
The 26-episode series centers on a group of bunny friends who must battle danger as they defend their city from their arch-nemesis, Dr. Fuzzleglove. It is currently slated to debut in the U.S. in 2024 and will continue to roll out on Nick Jr. channels internationally.
Super Duper Bunny League is produced by Nickelodeon Animation, and Robert Scull and Jonny Belt (
Bubble Guppies,
Butterbean’s Café) serve as executive producers. Jamie Smart is a consultant on the series. Production for Nickelodeon is overseen by Eryk Casemiro. Marielle Kaar serves as Nickelodeon’s executive in charge of production for the series.
The contract to produce the series is slated to be worth more than ten million euros. Last December, Nickelodeon received a production incentive of 1.8 million euros from Business Finland for the production of Super Duper Bunny League. The series is expected to be fully produced in Finland.
The incentive received by Nickelodeon is the second largest over the past year, with only Walt Disney Company Nordic receiving a slightly larger incentive, approximately 1.86 million euros.

BURBANK, Calif., June 16, 2022 -- Nickelodeon has ordered Super Duper Bunny League (working title), a brand-new adventure-comedy preschool series based on the kids' comic book series by cartoonist Jamie Smart. Featuring 2D animation, the series (26 episodes) centers on a diverse group of bunny friends who must battle danger as they defend their city and the world from their archnemesis. Super Duper Bunny League is slated to launch 2024 in the U.S. and continue to roll out on Nick Jr. channels internationally.
"Super Duper Bunny League brings to life the colorful world that Jamie created with quirky imaginative characters and engaging stories filled with zany adventures and loads of fun," said Eryk Casemiro, Executive Vice President, Nickelodeon Animation, Global Series Content. "We are excited for the opportunity to take the comic books to the next level with a preschool animated series that combines big superhero action with silly cartoony comedy in a uniquely Nickelodeon way."
The Super Duper Bunny League is here to battle danger in all its forms as they defend Important City and the world from their arch-nemesis (and accidental creator), the inept Dr. Fuzzleglove, and a ridiculous rogues' gallery of cartoony villains. Whether battling sweet-toothed space pirates, sizzling lava monsters, giant metal monkeys or hot dog-hungry dinosaurs, the Bunnies must combine their new superpowers to defend truth, justice, and especially free time to snack and chill.
Super Duper Bunny League is produced by Nickelodeon Animation in Burbank, Calif. Robert Scull and Jonny Belt serve as executive producers and Jamie Smart as Consultant on the series. Production for Nickelodeon is overseen by Eryk Casemiro, Executive Vice President, Nickelodeon Animation, Global Series Content.
