Young viewers will love the show’s courageous, instantly-endearing characters combined with its focus on adventure and discovery. Parents and caregivers will appreciate PJ Masks’ emphasis on the importance of friendship and teamwork along with imaginative play and creative problem-solving the PJ Masks way – without the “kapows” and “thwacks” found in older superhero shows!

The uniqueshow is based on French author Romuald Racioppo’s imaginative and striking picture book series “Les Pyjamasques.” A much-loved publishing property in its native France, where the books debuted in 2008, the series currently includes 15 titles with plans for two new releases every year.
