The Raving Rabbids’ connection to Rayman at this point feels nonexistent; since getting their own game in 2006, the crazy, rabbit-like critters have established their own brand. The Rabbids franchise has sold 11 million units to date according to Ubisoft, and whereas Rayman has remained within the realm of videogames, the Rabbids are set to expand to television.
Ubisoft today announced plans to produce a TV series based on the Rabbids franchise. It’ll create 78 CG episodes in total, each about seven minutes in length. Nickelodeon will then package three episodes together at a time to create 26 30-minute broadcasts. They’ll be aired by Nickelodeon worldwide except in France, Ubisoft’s home country; broadcasting company France Télévisions will air the show there and in other French-speaking countries in Europe.
