Crave gets animated for Super Team Canada

The streamer’s first-ever animated series is produced in partnership with Atomic Cartoons and Will Arnett's Electric Avenue.

Crave has announced its first-ever order for an original animated series: Super Team Canada.

The 10 X 30-minute adult animated comedy project is produced in partnership with Thunderbird Entertainment’s Atomic Cartoons (Young Love) and Will Arnett’s Electric Avenue (Snake Oil, Twisted Metal), and is slated for a 2025 premiere.

Created by Canadian Emmy-winning writers Robert Cohen (Somebody, Somewhere, The Big Bang Theory) and Joel H. Cohen (The Simpsons), it focuses on the exploits of six little-known Canadian superheroes looking to save the world from evil giant robots, an unemployed octopus and needy hardware store clerks.

“Distinctly Canadian original comedies have helped Crave build its brand, and with its sharp wit and clever Canadian-isms, Super Team Canada will fit right in,” said Justin Stockman, Bell Media’s VP, content development and programming, in a statement.

“This is the first animated series that Crave has commissioned, and we couldn’t ask for better partners than Will Arnett, Robert and Joel H. Cohen, Thunderbird Entertainment and Electric Avenue.”
