History
On October 7, 2013, Outfit7 announced that they have hired Joe Ansolabehere to create a 52/11 minute CGI comedy TV series based on the Talking Tom franchise, under the name "Tom on the Road". The series was to star Tom, Ben, Angela, and Ginger, and was to premiere by the end of 2014.[1] On March 3, 2014, Kidscreen Magazine announced that the series would go by the name of "Talking Tom and Friends", and instead be produced by BRB's creative studio Screen 21.[2] The pilot episode finally released on December 23, 2014, as a CGI animated series which was produced by arx anima, and introduced a new character named Hank. On February 23, 2015, Outfit7 announced the full series was to premiere on April 30, 2015, with new episodes launching weekly.[3] The first season ran from April 30, 2015 to December 22, 2016. It won Best Animated Series at the 2016 Cablefax Awards[4] and so, on August 18, 2016, the show was greenlit for a second season with another 52 episodes, but the final product only had 26 episodes with the remaining episodes becoming Season 3.[5] Season 2 aired from June 15, 2017 to March 8, 2018, Season 3 aired from May 10, 2018 to December 27, 2018, Season 4 aired from May 16, 2019 to March 27, 2020, and Season 5 is currently airing to this day.
Synopsis
The series follows Talking Tom and his friends' everyday lives. Tom and his nerdy business partner, Ben, constantly develop mobile apps and other inventions to reach fame and fortune and try to show off to the world, but it always backfires. His feisty girlfriend, Angela, tries to be a singing star, no matter what she does to achieve it. His cheeky neighbour, Ginger, pops by extremely frequently to mess around with mischief up his sleeve. His goofy best friend and roommate, Hank, is a couch potato who watches TV a lot. And the formerly diss-driven popstar Becca Sparkles has become Angela's new roommate and seemingly has a crush on Hank. However, lurking in the shadows is trouble in all shapes and sizes, whether it's the evil CEO, Tom's mysterious new neighbour, or just a mishap in Ben's newest creation, the gang will have fun no matter what, and always remember the one thing that keeps them together: friendship never ends!
