Warrior Cats: The Exciting Animated Series

After years of fan campaigns and anticipation, an official Warrior Cats animated series is finally happening.

The adaptation of the wildly popular book franchise has officially received a greenlight, with two heavy hitters now leading the charge. Writer and producer A.C. Bradley is set to serve as showrunner, while director Rodrigo Blaas—an acclaimed animator and filmmaker—will helm the series.

The move represents a watershed moment for the franchise, which has built a massive following since the first book hit shelves in 2003. The series, published under the pen name Erin Hunter, centers on rival clans of wild cats navigating complex themes of loyalty, power struggles, prophecy, and survival in a forest setting. Over the past two decades, the books have spawned multiple spin-offs, graphic novels, and a sprawling global fanbase.

It’s no secret that fans have been hungry for a screen adaptation. For years, viewers have created their own animations and fan content inspired by the books, fueling demand for an official version. Last year, Coolabi Group—which holds the rights to the franchise—partnered with Tencent Video to develop an animated adaptation, setting the stage for today’s announcement.

Bradley and Blaas’s involvement signals the project is moving into serious production mode. However, specifics remain under wraps: details about the plot, voice cast, and release date haven’t been announced yet.

With millions of copies sold worldwide and a devoted fanbase spanning generations, the Warrior Cats adaptation is shaping up to be one of the most talked-about fantasy projects in development. Fans will undoubtedly be keeping their eyes peeled for updates on animation style, casting announcements, and premiere details.
