Nelvana to Produce More Additional BeyBlade Series

Canadian animation producer/distributor Nelvana has announced plans to sponsor the production of an additional two made-for-North-America Beyblade television series. The 13-episode “BeyRaiderz Shogun” will tentatively premiere next spring. “BeyWarriors Cyborg” will follow in fall 2014 with 26-episodes and two hour-long specials. Production of the new series will be supervised in Japan by d-rights. The new North American-exclusive series will follow the broadcast of “Beyblade Shogun Steel,” an English language adaptation of Japan’s 2013 series Metal Fight Beyblade Zero-G.

Nelvana previously comissioned the production of the Japanese-animated North-American-broadcast 2012 television series BeyWheelz.
