Catboy, Owlette, and Gekko are suiting up for another season of superhero action.

Entertainment One (eOne), France 5, and Frog Box, in collaboration with Disney Junior, entered production on the fifth season of PJ Masks, with 52 11-minute episodes set to debut next year. The new episodes will find the preschool heroes exploring new locations as they face off against new villains and challenges.

“[This year] marks five years since PJ Masks first swooped onto TV screens and we’re absolutely thrilled to be announcing that a fifth series is in production,” says eOne’s Olivier Dumont, president, family & brands. “PJ Masks has won a place in the hearts of families all over the world and has created many happy childhood memories for kids who have grown up with the characters. We look forward to bringing brand new adventures to the show’s fanbase and introducing the series to the next generation of preschoolers.”

Since its U.S. launch on Disney Junior in 2015, PJ Masks has become a global franchise spawning toys, consumer products, and live events in more than 85 markets. Season four will launch globally on Disney Junior this year.
