The animated series began streaming on Frederator's Cartoon Hangover channel on YouTube on November 8, 2012. [4] The series is based on a short produced for Frederator's Nicktoons animation incubator series Random! Cartoons that aired on January 10, 2009. A comic book adaptation published by Boom! Studios launched on October 24, 2012. [5]
On October 20, 2016, a season fourth was announced that would also serve as a continuation of the web series. The series, which is officially considered the fourth and final season, was produced by Nelvana in Canada, in association with Frederator. [6] [7] It started airing on VRV in the United States on December 25, 2017, and Teletoon in Canada on September 3, 2018. [8] A 21-minute documentary was released on December 11, 2017. [9] [10] [11] [12]
As the voice acting for the television series was recorded between Los Angeles, California and Toronto, Ontario, although far from being the first show from using both SAG-AFTRA and ACTRA, it is the first North American animated production to credit both unions due to using more American voice actors over Canadian voice actors.[ citation needed ]
The show won the Shorty Award for Best Web Show in 2013 [13] and was nominated in the Annecy International Animated Film Festival. [14] It is also a 2015 Webby Award honoree. [15] The fourth season was nominated for the 2019 Youth Media Alliance award for Best Digital First Content for all age groups. [16]
On December 3, 2019, it was announced that there will be a Catbug spinoff and Pendleton Ward will also be involved with it. However as of November 2023, no updates have been announced. [17]
On January 4, 2023, Genius Brands (now Kartoon Studios) announced that they would sell a 50% stake in the series alongside the Catbug spin-off to Japanese company Toho International, speculating a potential comeback for the series. [18]
The 4th season of Bravest Warriors became available on the official Cartoon Hangover YouTube channel on January 26, 2024. [19]
