Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts is an animated television series created by Radford Sechrist and developed by Bill Wolkoff, adapted from Rad's 2015 webcomic Kipo. The series is produced by American company DreamWorks Animation Television and animated by South Korean studio Mir.

The young adult animated series[1] follows a teenage girl named Kipo Oak, who is searching for her father after being forced to flee from her burrow, and must explore the post-apocalyptic surface world ruled by mutated animals to find him. Along the way, she befriends human survivors Wolf and Benson, and the mutant animals Dave and Mandu.

The series has been critically acclaimed for its design, characterization, music, world-building, voice acting, and diversity. The series is particularly notable for its representation of LGBT and characters of color.[2][3][4]

The show's three seasons, each ten episodes long, were released in 2020. Season 1 was released on January 14,[5] season 2 on June 12,[6] and season 3 on October 12.[7]

The show made its linear debut on Pop in the United Kingdom on October 3, 2022.[8]
