Netflix and CAKE in partnership with Rovio Entertainment have announced a new animated series Angry Birds: Summer Madness based on the iconic world of the Angry Birds. The series features 40 x 11-minute episodes. The series will debut globally in 2021, and will take a cue from the original movies for its humour and tone while also revealing a new look.
Angry Birds: Summer Madness will see much-loved birds Red, Bomb and Chuck, as well as a cast of brand new feathered friends, as tween birds at a summer camp under the questionable guidance of their counselor Mighty Eagle.
“Explosive antics, improbable pranks and crazy summertime adventures see the birds pushing boundaries and breaking all the rules while fending off the brash and obnoxious Pigs on the other side of the lake, who seem hell-bent on causing mayhem and keeping the adventure alive,” a statement from Netflix said.
This is the latest from long-time collaborators CAKE and Rovio that also includes international distribution rights to Rovio’s expanding library of non-dialogue shorts. Ed Galton, CCO & Managing Director, CAKE said, “Angry Birds are about to smash the small screen and we are thrilled to be making the journey with Netflix as our global partner.”
