New content featuring CoComelon and Sanrio characters – including Hello Kitty and Cinnamoroll – will debut in early 2026 in a new multi-year deal between Moonbug Entertainment and Sanrio announced this morning during the APOS convention in Bali.

The companies said additional collaborations would follow.

Moonbug will lead global distribution of the series in its first collaboration with Sanrio.  

The partnership was discussed by Kevin Mayer, co-founder and co-CEO of Candle Media, which owns Moonbug. 

Mayer talked about generations of fans, fresh experiences "that blend the heart and humor of CoComelon with Sanrio’s beloved characters" and said "this is the start of a creative partnership with huge potential".

Additional details will be shared later this year, he added.
