Thomas & Friends will ride the rails for at least two more seasons.
Thomas & Friends: All Engines Go rebooted the long-running series in its 26th season and will continue chugging along in its current form for seasons 27 and 28. Each season includes 26 11-minute episodes and an hour-long special. Corus Entertainment’s Nelvana Studios and Mattel Television are co-producing the new seasons. The current season broke new ground with the addition of Bruno the Brake Car, the first autistic character on the island of Sodor.
“The global impact of Thomas & Friends: All Engines Go is as strong as ever and has been reinforced through the franchise’s recent introduction of Bruno,” says Fred Soulie, senior vice president and general manager, Mattel Television. “Alongside our global broadcast partners, we’re excited to maintain the Thomas & Friends legacy by continuing the beloved adventures of Thomas and the Sodor crew, all while allowing audiences to revel in the playful nature of the series and further connect with our characters.”
In season 27, set to debut next year, Thomas and his Sodor squad, including Percy, Kana, Nia, Diesel, and Bruno will team up to tackle new tasks and make new memories.
Executive Producers on Thomas & Friends: All Engines Go include Christopher Keenan and Fred Soulie for Mattel and Colin Bohm, Doug Murphy, and Pam Westman for Nelvana.
