Today, ZAG America, a global independent entertainment studio specializing in world-class storytelling across TV, film and digital platforms, announced Cartoon Network has secured the broadcast rights to the upcoming animated series, Power Players – expected to debut from 2019. Developed by Jeremy Zag, written by Man of Action (Ben 10, Big Hero 6) and co-produced by OnEntertainment, the new series will also include the development of a multi-segment toy line in partnership with Playmates Toys. The action figure and role play will give kids worldwide the chance to immerse themselves in the on-screen action just like the heroes of the show. The launch of the highly anticipated series is the first between ZAG America and Cartoon Network, in addition to ZAG’s first partnership with Playmates Toys.

Cartoon Network has secured the broadcast rights of “Power Players” in the EMEA, APAC, and USA regions. Utilizing groundbreaking CGI-hybrid animation, the action-comedy animation series follows the adventures of Axel, an adventurous boy who transforms into a living action figure, and his unlikely team of toy heroes as they embark on the biggest “small” adventures a kid could ever imagine. “Power Players” is visually stunning animation that truly brings the characters and story to life, as this is the first time this rendering technique has been used in a series format. Tackling BIG challenges and high stakes from a toy’s eye view, the show embraces the pure fun of play while promoting camaraderie and teamwork.
