Spin Master/Nickelodeon

TORONTO – Nov. 10, 2026 – Building on the success of PAW PATROL’s films and series, Spin Master today announced a new spinoff series featuring Skye, the fearless cockapoo. SKYE’S PUP SQUAD is an all-new 2D animated series in which best friends Skye, Everest and Liberty set out to rescue animals in need. Season one will debut on Nickelodeon in March 2027.

“The love for PAW PATROL is incredible, and a big part of that is because kids just adore Skye,” said Vishnu Athreya, EVP and president of Spin Master Entertainment. “She’s been a hero from day one, and it’s about time she got her own moment. SKYE’S PUP SQUAD lets us dive deeper into her brave, empathetic spirit with fresh, fun adventures. We can’t wait for kids to jump into these brand-new rescue missions with Skye and her Pup Squad.”

“As PAW PATROL continues to resonate with audiences globally, SKYE’S PUP SQUAD shines a spotlight on one of its most beloved pups,” said Alec Botnick, president of Nickelodeon Animation Studios. “Following the success of RUBBLE & CREW, we’ve seen how eager kids and families are to spend more time with the characters they love. Through new adventures, friendship and teamwork, SKYE’S PUP SQUAD expands the franchise in a way that stays true to its heart.”

In SKYE’S PUP SQUAD, Skye and her best friends embark on an all-girl-pup road trip traveling along the trails of Rescue Ridge. When one of the Ridge’s animals is in trouble, Skye makes sure the Pup Squad is “rescue ready!” Whether it’s a baby goat climbing too high or a catnapping kitty floating down the raging rapids in a runaway canoe, SKYE’S PUP SQUAD will gear up, team up and bring that bestie home. It’s heroic, high-flying action meets care, cuddles and cuteness, with plenty of real animal facts and campfire sing-alongs along the way.  

“This series builds on everything kids love about Skye – she’s a supportive friend, an empathetic hero and a pup who never gives up,” says Leah Gotcsik, showrunner. “SKYE’S PUP SQUAD is a show for kids who love going on outdoor adventures, learning about and caring for animals, all while spending time with their bestie heroes.”

Spin Master/Nickelodeon

First introduced in 2013, the PAW PATROL series, originally created by Keith Chapman, has aired more than 600 11-minute episodes and continues to top charts across various platforms. Available in 180+ territories and 33 languages, across 200+ stations and streaming platforms, PAW PATROL has amassed more than 10 million YouTube subscribers.

Louise Thompson Partners with Thomas the Tank Engine for Christmas Jumper Day 2026

Mattel is donating 5,000 toys and helping with donations of up to £40,000 to support Save the Children’s Christmas Jumper Day.

Louise Thompson got into the festive spirit at London’s King’s Cross on Friday 6th November, pulling on a Thomas & Friends Christmas jumper to launch a free family pop-up with the blue engine.

The TV personality and author joined children for Christmas jumper crafts, toy play and storytelling, alongside life-size Thomas and Sir Topham Hatt. Louise also settled into the pop-up’s reading corner to read a Thomas & Friends story to a group of children.

The appearance kicked off a nationwide Christmas campaign with Save the Children, with Thomas taking on a new role as the charity’s Chief Delivery Officer for Christmas Jumper Day.

Also joining the celebrations was Harry Sparkes, the new voice of Thomas. The 13-year-old actor from Harpenden, Hertfordshire, recently made his professional voice-acting debut in the new animated special Thomas & Friends: Railway Stories – Really Helpful Engines.

For more than 80 years, Thomas has shown generations of children that even the smallest engine can make a big difference. Now, he is taking that helpful spirit beyond the Island of Sodor, encouraging families, schools, nurseries and workplaces to get on board with Save the Children’s Christmas Jumper Day on Thursday 10th December 2026.

As part of the campaign, Mattel will donate 5,000 toys to Save the Children’s UK programmes and baby banks and is helping with donations of up to £40,000 for Christmas Jumper Day.

Those signing up to Christmas Jumper Day by 1st December will also have the chance to win experiences including Day Out With Thomas, a visit to Thomas Land at Drayton Manor Resort, a Mattel-led Hot Wheels STEM workshop and an F1 Arcade experience. Families will have a further chance to win Thomas & Friends toy bundles through a nationwide media competition.

The partnership builds on more than 20 years of support from Mattel for Save the Children, spanning the charity’s work in education, health and child protection.

Nancy Molenda, Vice President of Global Corporate Events and Philanthropy at Mattel, said: “For generations, Thomas & Friends has brought comfort and connection to children and families through stories of friendship, teamwork and helping others. Those timeless values remain at the heart of everything we do, making his role as Chief Delivery Officer a perfect fit this Christmas.”

The campaign comes as Thomas & Friends welcomes a new generation of fans with refreshed animation, new stories and an all-new toy line. Young viewers can hear Harry as Thomas in Thomas & Friends: Railway Stories – Really Helpful Engines, available on 5’s Milkshake! now, ahead of the new animated series Thomas & Friends: Railway Stories, launching on the channel in early 2027.

Save the Children’s Christmas Jumper Day takes place on Thursday 10th December 2026. Families, schools, nurseries and workplaces can take part by wearing a favourite festive knit, borrowing a jumper or decorating something they already own, and donating whatever they can. To sign up and find out more, visit www.christmasjumperday.org.

HBO Max-Paramount+ Bundle Set To Launch In Early 2027

An HBO Max–Paramount+ bundle will launch in early 2027, Skydance CEO David Ellison confirmed in a letter to shareholders on Monday, November 9.

The bundle has been promoted but not the timing of its launch, which was revealed along with a range of results from the third quarter. Pricing remains an open question, but as with Disney or other companies creating their own bundles, there will likely be a significant financial incentive for consumers to sign up for the bundle rather than each individual service.

In a conference call with Wall Street analysts, Ellison called the bundle “our first step towards unifying the two services.” He said executives believe consumers “will be delighted” by the bundle, which will span entertainment, news and sports, including marquee titles like Last Week Tonight With John Oliver, Harry Potter, The Pitt, Lioness, Mayor of Kingstown, MobLand, and Landman.

HBO Max and Paramount+ are “highly complementary offerings,” Ellison added, “and over-index with different consumer segments and different parts of the country. By bringing these services together, we are well positioned to deliver for a broad range of audience cohorts. And given this, we really do expect to grow region engagement, improve retention, and increase revenue and profitability, and line with, or ahead of the leading competitors over the long term.

As of now, the two services reach a combined 203 million subscribers, the company said, well behind Netflix but more competitive with Disney and Amazon Prime Video.

In managing the lead-up to full integration, Ellison said Skydance would “phase in new plans for pricing, with discipline and consumer feedback, so we can continue to grow the services” during the bundle phase.

The $110 billion merger of Paramount and Warner Bros. Discovery into Skydance closed in early October, meaning the earnings report for the July-to-September quarter provides a fairly blurry snapshot. Still, in one of the few pro forma metrics the company offered, reflecting what the outcome would have been had WBD and Paramount merged on Jan. 1, 2025, Skydance said pro forma revenue in the direct-to-consumer division grew 15% year-over-year in the third quarter.

In the current fourth quarter, the letter said, “we expect continued strong DTC revenue growth.” And by 2030, the company expected to have shifted “a meaningful majority of revenue and profit from TV to our streaming and studios businesses” as a counter to the secular declines in linear viewing and advertising.

Ellison has said multiple times publicly that the ultimate aim is to blend HBO Max and Paramount+ into a single service, though that feat is complicated both in terms of the technology lift and the strategic details.

“Long-term, the plan is basically to bring them together,” Ellison said at a press event held to mark the closing of the merger. “It’ll take a period of time to do that. So, I think in the immediate [term], you will see them operated separately, with things like bundling or things that you’ll be able to see accelerated in the relatively short term. I can’t be specific about that yet today.”

WBD had been fairly aggressive in participating in bundles with HBO Max, particularly as it looked to give its ad-supported tier a push. The company’s third-party package with Disney+ and Hulu was an early example of rivals teaming on a bundle.

Ahead of the merger, Paramount’s direct-to-consumer revenue growth gained 11% over the year-earlier period to hit $2.5 billion, though that number also carries a bit of an asterix due to the August 2025 close of the Skydance-Parmount merger. Paramount’s average revenue per user, or ARPU, climbed 14% and the number of subscribers rose 6% in the period, Skydance said. The integration of BET+ into Paramount+ happened in the second quarter of 2025 but generated a full-quarter of financial benefit in the third quarter. Along with declines at Showtime, the BET+ integration hampered total DTC growth by 6%.

Adjusted EBITDA in Paramount Skydance’s DTC unit was $225 million, or a 9% margin. The investor letter noted the impact of “higher costs from planned investment in our programming schedule in the quarter, including the UFC and ongoing investment in originals.”
