Produced by Italian content powerhouse Rainbow Group, the first season of 44 Cats started airing on Nick Jr., Nick Jr. Too and POP TV in 2019. The CG-animated preschool series follows the daily adventures of Lampo, Milady, Pilou, and Meatball – four adorable kittens living in lovely Granny Pina’s house and playing their songs as a music band named The Buffycats. Always ready to help their friends finding creative solutions to any kind of problem, the Buffycats are conquering broadcasters across the globe thanks to their cuteness and universal attributes, their stories dealing with central themes such as tolerance, diversity and altruism, and their unique way of combining positive values, action and comedy in a sophisticated CGI production. Distinctive feature of the show is the wonderful music score, made up of original songs from the Italian tradition, developed and sung by the famous children choir of the Antoniano Bologna.

Season two of 44 Cats contains 52 x 13-minute episodes, bringing the number of episodes of the series up to 104 x 13 minute episodes.

The first season of 44 Cats established record ratings since its very first launch in November 2018, and it’s proving a sensational success: 44 Cats is on air in over 100 countries and in more than 20 languages.

Since its debut in the UK, 44 Cats has been growing consistently, with the show reaching millions of viewers and increasing audiences month after month, establishing itself as one of the most popular properties among children aged three and above.

Earlier this year, Rainbow Group announced several licensing and merchandising partnerships for the 44 Cats brand in the U.K. Lisle Licensing has signed on to license the brand in the country, and the nightwear 44 Cats collection from TDP Textile Aykroyds is set to enter the market through F&F and Amazon. The official U.K. toy partner, Simba Dickie’s Siso Toys, began distributing the collection in February through such retailers as The Entertainer, Argos, Amazon and Asda. Created by master toy partner Toy Plus, the toys are based on key series elements, including music, creative play patterns and collectability. The line includes interactive plush toys, figurines, playsets and musical toys. Additional deals are in place with U.K. partners—with John Toys and Amscan developing products with multi-territorial deals—and others such as Sony Music, Dreamtex, Redan Publishing, Fashion UK, Ravensburger, Clementoni and Chicco & Bip.

44 Cats season two debuted on Rai Yoyo in Italy (locally titled 44 Gatti) in March 2020, and will roll-out onto Nickelodeon channels globally later this year.

44 Cats is inspired by the very popular Italian kids song "44 Gatti", which, in 1968, won the 10th edition of the Zecchino d'Oro and has since entered the collective imagination of Italians.
