Public broadcaster France Televisions has backed “Dungeons & Kittens,” a serialized animated fantasy from leading Gallic producer Watch Next. Following the development title’s premiere showcase at Cartoon Forum, Variety can exclusively share this first look.
Inspired by both role playing games and tabletop pets, the family-skewing project follows a herd of meowing marauders, banished from their cat kingdom and searching for the treasure that will grant them safe passage back. Over the course of 13 episodes, the four-strong, feline fellowship will rescale high fantasy tropes down to more kid-friendly size, overcoming obstacles and surviving cliffhangers in a serialized narrative apt for binging.
“[We wanted] to develop an epic saga to accompany the rise of our broadcasting partners’ non-linear platforms,” says Watch Next CEO Philippe Alessandri. “And we wanted to allow our team to showcase its own talent within a new format and genre.”
