The series is slated to premiere in fall 2018 on the #1 rated kids’ network, Nickelodeon’s Nick Jr. channel in the USA and Caribbean Basin. Genius Brands is also developing a comprehensive consumer products program to follow the series launch, which will begin rolling out in the U.S. in late spring 2019, continuing through back-to-school and holiday. Lionel Marty, Managing Director of APC Kids, says: “We were immediately attracted to Rainbow Rangers due to the talented creatives behind the show teamed with the powerhouses of Nickelodeon and Mattel.
