Template:SkylandersWikia Template:Media Skylanders Academy (スカイランダーズ・アカデミー, Sukairandāzu Akademi in Japanese) is a French-American computer-animated spin-off television series based on the Skylanders franchise. It serves as Activision Blizzard Studios' first animated production with Futurama writer Eric Rogers overseeing the creation of the series.[1] The series premiered on October 28, 2016 worldwide on the Netflix network.[2]

The television series is a spinoff to the storyline of the games with no direct tie-ins to sequels, being its own separate identity.[3] Eric Rogers metioned the series being a mixture of Gravity Falls and Futurama.[4]

Production

As part of a two season, 26 episode partnership, Activision Blizzard Studios announced that Skylanders Academy will air on Netflix.[5] Two seasons are planned, each with 13 episodes; season one will start in October 2016 and season two begins in Fall 2017.

On February 2, 2017, Season 3 has been announced to be in production.[6]

Plot

As darkness begins to threaten the balance of peace in the Skylands, Master Eon is forced to assemble a ragtag group of heroes to protect the universe from evil-doers Kaos and the Doom Raiders. Using their unique blend of personalities and elemental-based super powers, Spyro and his fellow Skylanders are called upon to set aside egos as they come together to maintain harmony and balance in the land. Jam-packed with humour, heart and memorable moments, Skylanders Academy promises to keep viewers on the edge of their seats with epic action for kids of all ages.

Along with a new class of cadets, and newcomers Cynder and Sprocket, the team returns in an action packed Skylanders Academy Season 2 that finds our heroes seeking answers from the past. Spyro begins a search for information about his ancestors in order to harness and understand his special powers. Meanwhile, Kaos’ quest to bring evil rule to the Skylands realms accidentally unleashes a villain more powerful than anything Kaos or the Skylander warriors have ever faced. The Skylanders unite once more for the greatest showdown against evil yet – putting them all to the ultimate test!
