She-Ra is a series created by Eisner Award-winning author and executive producer Noelle Stevenson, author of Lumberjanes and Nimona. It is a modern take on 1980s girl power icons for the modern day generation of fans. The original female lead fantasy series debuted in 1985. This epic and timely tale celebrates friendship between girls and the ensuing empowerment that brings with it. The story features a warrior princess that unites and leads the girls. This is going to be a favorite with my own girls. The series will be available to Netflix members worldwide in 2018.

The Boss Baby: Back in Business brings two brothers back together to navigate the cutthroat corporate jungle gym of Baby Corp. They continue angling to achieve what is seemingly impossible.

The series will be available to Netflix members in 2018. Visit netflix.com//bossbabybackinbusiness for more information.

Harvey Street Kids is the adventures of the Harvey Girls, Audrey, Lotta, and Dot. They are in constant Saturday play mode with endless kickball games, infinite flavors from the ice cream truck, and an epic climbing tree in the universe. The girls are both best friends forever and guardians of the block. They will do anything to keep having fun and never ever grow up. Executive producer Brendan Hay makes this all come to life for DreamWorks and Netflix in 2018. Visit nnetflix.com/harveystreetkids for more information.

The Epic Tales of Captain Underpants is a personal favorite, maybe because the title is so funny. This tale is based on the books written by Dav Pilkey. They follow the adventures of George Beard and Harold Hutchins, two best friends who bonded through their love of pranking, comic books, and being the thorns in school Principal Krupp’s side. They get mixed up in adventures crazier than their outrageous comic books. They call on their greatest creation, Captain Underpants, to help them out. Peabody Award and Emmy winning producer Peter Hastings (Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness) brings the series to life on Netflix in 2018.
