Strawberry Shortcake returns in new animated series
WildBrain has announced the premiere of Strawberry Shortcake’s Bake Shop, a new CG-animated web series bringing the iconic character back to her roots with a fresh visual style inspired by the brand’s 1980s heritage.
Premiere in October
The first two episodes will premiere on October 16 on the official Strawberry Shortcake channel on the WildBrain Network on YouTube. The 26-episode season will be released over the following year and will feature eight new songs.
Central theme
A central theme of the new series is the importance of kindness, friendship, and community. Through everyday adventures, Strawberry demonstrates how even small acts of kindness can bring people closer together.
Designed for children aged four to eight, Strawberry Shortcake’s Bake Shop combines the familiar elements of the long-running brand – including baking, friendship, and humour – with a modern CG look. WildBrain describes the series as a new chapter for the brand, aimed at introducing Strawberry Shortcake to a new generation of audiences worldwide through content, consumer products and live experiences.
Strawberry Shortcake has been a popular family character for more than four decades, appearing across animated series, specials, television, streaming, and digital platforms. The character and brand are owned by WildBrain.
