Cosmic Kids is a character-driven, animated action-adventure show that takes place in deep space.

But at its heart, it is a show about friendship. 

The tween years are mysterious. They can be scary, confusing, occasionally filled with wonder, and pretty awkward. Navigating the transition of the tween years can make kids feel like explorers to distant alien realms that are strange, hostile, and paradoxically inviting. 

In Cosmic Kids, a group of 5 tweens, who hardly know each other, find themselves swept up in the most fantastic adventure of their lives when they impulsively steal a spaceship and jump into hyperspace to encounter things beyond their wildest imaginations. In the process, this ragtag crew of strangers will learn who they are, what they are capable of, and what it means to be a friend. 

It is also a show about making mistakes, taking risks, and dealing with the consequences of impulsive decisions. In this case, that means not seeing their families, surviving on space food, exploring strange worlds and alien civilizations, becoming outlaws wanted throughout the galaxy, and risking being grounded for eternity by their parents. Hopefully, it also means saving the Earth. 

The Cosmic Kids didn’t plan to be piloting a stolen ship into the darkest reaches of space to find the cure for climate change. It just happened.

At the heart of Cosmic Kids are the values of loyalty, friendship, and building a better world through community. These kids accept each other for who they are. They lead with their hearts with an openness older generations can’t seem to understand. 

Time and time again, the crew will be forced to overcome personal dramas for the greater good. We will see them discover who they are and what they are truly made of. The strange planets and alien cultures will also reflect the challenges of being a tween (and a human) in a chaotic and unpredictable world.
