Jellyfish Originals—the content arm of UK-based animation/VFX studio Jellyfish Pictures—has teamed up with British toymaker Toikido to co-produce Battalor, a new CG-animated series inspired by its upcoming same-name toy brand.     

Currently in early development under Emmy-nominated scriptwriter Jordan Gershowitz (Hot Wheels Let’s Race), the series focuses on a group of unlikely kid heroes who must master the combative powers of the Battalors to save their futuristic city from an evil threat.

Jellyfish Originals is providing script-to-screen production services for the project, as well as managing global distribution; Toikido will focus on licensing and gaming development.

On the hunt for co-pro partners and commissioning broadcasters, Jellyfish Originals MD Natalie Llewellyn plans to present the show’s bible and a first script at Kidscreen Summit 2025 in San Diego.
