My son LOVES this show as well. Really glad to hear there will be a second season. Just hoping they make some toys of some kind. I haven't seen any as of yet.

Sounds like Cartoon Network is going to be looking for something like a Steven Universe/Adventure Time show with a lot of crossover appeal. Problem is, both of those shows needed time to evolve that audience, and I wonder how much patience WB Discovery will have for that. Also seems like no one was willing to Greenlight much in the way of original IP if it was targeting kids. Does that change now?

Owen Dennis, creator of Infinity Train, recently made a blog post discussing how the corporate obsession with franchises and pre-existing IP is basically worse than it’s ever been. Studios don’t want to hear about anything original, and even if you pitch something new to them they try to rework it into a property they already own.

It’s an interesting read, but also a pretty disappointing confirmation of how these executives think when greenlighting shows.
