Spin Master and Nickelodeon’s PAW Patrol, the incredibly popular kids’ TV series, is getting its first spinoff on Feb. 3. Rubble & Crew will focus on the construction dog Rubble.
“As a proud member of the PAW Patrol, Rubble has stolen the hearts of preschoolers around the world with his loyal, optimistic nature and penchant for treats,” says Jennifer Dodge, Spin Master’s president of entertainment and executive Producer. “Our new series expands Rubble’s world with storytelling that digs into amazing construction projects and the importance of family, combined with high-stakes action, fun adventures, and messy demolition that preschoolers will love.”
The series takes place in Builder Cove, a new town separate from PAW Patrol’s Adventure Bay. It will focus on construction projects with Rubble the construction dog leading his own crew of new characters.
“Every dog has its day, so we’re answering the fan demand for more of PAW Patrol’s beloved bulldog, Rubble, with his very own series that marks the TV expansion of the global PAW Patrol franchise,” says Ramsey Naito, president, Paramount Animation and Nickelodeon Animation. “Rubble & Crew is an all-new series focusing on family and community, and it’s filled with new characters and big adventures that lean into construction play patterns that will let the audience engage in a whole new way.”
Retailers can expect a full range of new toys inspired by Rubble & Crew as the series kicks off PAW Patrol’s 10th anniversary celebration.
