NETFLIX WELCOMES A NEW PET TO THE FAMILY IN AN ALL-NEW ANIMATED SERIES "SHARKDOG"
-- New series from ViacomCBS International Studios and first-time Singaporean creator will be available to audiences worldwide in 2021 --
Netflix and ViacomCBS International Studios (VIS) announce Sharkdog an animated series from Singaporean creator Jacinth Tan.
The 20 x 7 minute episode animated series is produced by ViacomCBS International Studios, in partnership with Singaporean based CGI animation studio One Animation, and will premiere in 2021.
Logline: The series follows 10 year old Max and his best friend Sharkdog - half shark, half dog, all appetite. Blissfully unaware of his own strength, stealth and general sharkiness, Sharkdog often leaves a trail of chaos in his wake. But, like all good half-dogs, he's Max's BFF and Max is his.
Sharkdog is VIS' first internationally originated global animated series for Netflix. It is also the first animated series from Singapore to come out of Nickelodeon's Global Animated Shorts Program, designed to identify and develop long form original comedy-driven content for kids globally.
Update (11/8) - ViacomCBS recently applied to patent Sharkdog with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) under the categories of " Games; toys; sports equipment", "Clothing; footwear; headgear" and "Education; entertainment". All three applications are currently pending. Interestingly, the show is being patented under the title Sharkdog Nickelodeon. It's currently unknown whether this related to the Nickelodeon series, or the upcoming Netflix series.

Original post:
Netflix has ordered new animated kids show, Sharkdog, from ViacomCBS International Studios (VIS)!
The streamer has ordered 20 episodes of the 7-minute show, created by first-time Singaporean creator Jacinth Tan that will air in 2021. The show is produced by VIS in partnership with Singaporean based CGI animation studio One Animation (Oddbods).
It marks VIS’ first internationally originated global animated series for Netflix.
The show follows 10-year old Max and his best friend Sharkdog – half shark, half dog, all appetite. Blissfully unaware of his own strength, stealth and general sharkiness, Sharkdog often leaves a trail of chaos in his wake. But, like all good half-dogs, he’s Max’s BFF and Max is his.
Sharkdog originally came out of Nickelodeon’s Global Animated Shorts Program, which is designed to identify and develop original comedy-driven content for kids, in 2015. You can see an early vision of the show above and this will be updated for Netflix. Sharkdog is also the first animated series from Singapore to come out of Nickelodeon’s Global Animated Shorts Program.
Nickelodeon International subsequently announced in 2017 that it had greenlit a series of 90-second shorts based on the characters, which debuted as a short-form digital series for the Nickelodeon Play App in Asia.
It is the latest agreement between a ViacomCBS company and Netflix. Last year, Nickelodeon and Netflix struck an output deal that will yield original animated feature films and TV series based on existing Nickelodeon library characters as well as newly created ones. Prior to the agreement, Netflix ordered forthcoming specials based on The Loud House and Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The deal builds on a relationship that has brought animated specials Rocko’s Modern Life: Static Cling, Invader Zim: Enter the Florpus and Glitch Techs to Netflix. Netflix is also producing a live-action version of Nickelodeon's beloved animated series Avatar: The Last Airbender.
It is the latest third-part order for the ViacomCBS division, which has been stepping up its development and production of ideas for non-ViacomCBS networks. Last month, ViacomCBS’ UK production studio scored its first U.S. order – a ten-part music documentary series for Reelz called The Story of the Songs.
Sharkdog was the first Singaporean series to come out of the competition. But it’s in good company, as several animated shorts from Nick’s program have turned into full fledged series recently. This includes Toronto-based prodco Nelvana’s new 26 x 22-minute animated series Ollie’s Pack, which began as an original short dubbed Monster Pack for Nickelodeon’s 2013 Animated Shorts Program. And, in January, Nickelodeon premiered the 2D-animated comedy series It’s Pony (20 x 22 minutes), which was part of Nick’s 2015 Global Animated shorts program.
