Toon2Tango, Factory Rights and Keith Chapman Productions to co-produce Bravo Squad

Kids and family entertainment venture Toon2Tango, a LEONINE Animation Studios company, has announced that it has signed a development and co-production deal with animation studio Factory Rights and Keith Chapman Productions for Bravo Squad, an exciting new CGI series with 52 x 11’ animated episodes for upper pre-schoolers and online shorts for boys and girls.

This brand-new IP is created by the legendary Keith Chapman, creator of Bob the Builder and Paw Patrol.

Bravo Squad follows the adventures of brave police cadet Oscar Bravo and his partner Juliet Tango as they race to emergencies, maintain order and keep the citizens and animals of their home, Drama Town, safe. The show is a celebration of the everyday heroes of the police, fire, ambulance and rescue services, with an engaging and lovable cast of brave young cadets.

As you might guess, there’s always drama in Drama Town, but along with fun, humour, thrills, high-speed vehicles, scootering, skating, biking, rock-climbing, parachuting, sailing and amazing gadgets, a big part of each mission is investigation. Oscar and Juliet, with help from police mechanic Mike Foxtrot, make full use of their detective skills following clues, collecting evidence and using deduction to crack each case.

But that’s not all. Bravo Squad highlights safety awareness, the role and importance of the emergency services and the overall theme of being part of, and supporting, a community. The show promotes teamwork and STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and maths) and social and emotional learning.

Bravo Squad is both exciting and educational, blending brilliantly written and engrossing storylines with important life lessons about problem-solving, friendships and teamwork, encouraging children to take innovative approaches to everyday challenges and highlighting how technology can empower them to make a positive impact on the world.

Bravo Squad also offers strong licensing potential across a variety of categories thanks to a cool and aspirational range of renewable-energy-powered cars and support vehicles as well as some very innovative gadgets, not to mention beautifully realised shops, parks, lakes, mountains, garden centres and Action Station – the Bravo Squad’s  team HQ – and the many characters themselves.

Bravo Squad is, of course, a brilliantly devised, designed and written series. But that’s not surprising, as it comes with an extraordinary writing and producing pedigree.

Bravo Squad has been created by Keith Chapman, creator of mega-hit kids’ TV brands including Paw Patrol, Bob the Builder, Mighty Express, Jonny Jetboy and many more. Keith’s shows have generated over US$22 billion in combined global sales.

Co-producer Factory Rights are award-winning producers and have produced ANNIE, EMMY and BAFTA award-winning, multi- award-nominated, multi-genre animation productions, including The Tiny Chef Show, Clangers and Scream Street, working with leading global broadcasters.

Production of Bravo Squad is expected to begin in 2026, with plans to preview episodes to potential broadcast partners in 2028.

Following recent announcements from Toon2Tango of plans to produce entertainment content based on the successful toy line ELDRADOR^® CREATURESby Schleichand to distribute the inventive new show ThinkerBen and Motor, Bravo Squad joins a growing list of Toon2Tango hits including Agent 203 and Monster Loving Maniacs, along with productions arriving on screens around the world in the coming months and years such as The Wee Littles, Hey Fuzzy Yellow, Showtime and Dinomite & Lucy, all underlining the strength of the Toon2Tango offering among pre-schoolers, children, tweens and teens.

Toon2Tango co-founder Ulli Stoef says: “Bravo Squad aims to be the first globally successful police-themed preschool character-based show on the market – and with this extraordinary list of partners, including ourselves, Factory Rights and Keith Chapman, whose award-winning style and skill are part of the DNA of this captivating new show, it’s getting off to a truly amazing start!
