The Bad Guys: The Series (formerly known as The Bad Guys: Breaking In in its first season), is an American animated television series based on the 2022 film The Bad Guys , which in turn is based on the graphic novel series of the same name. Like the two television specials that came before, the series serves as a prequel to the original film. Godere, Ajeigbe, Ceballos, Diamantopoulos and Low all reprise their roles from the shorts; none of the films' original cast return.

The series was released via Netflix on November 6, 2025. Season 2 will premiere on April 2, 2026. [1]

Plot

Long before their successful criminal careers, the Bad Guys were just wannabe crooks who want to make a name of themselves by pulling off the biggest heists imaginable so they can be on top of the other notorious criminal gangs, however their scheming shenanigans would also attract their own undoing.
