Annedroids is a Canadian[1][2] CGI/live action television series created by J. J. Johnson. The series is produced by Sinking Ship Entertainment in association with broadcasters TVOntario, SRC and KiKa.[2] Annedroids was released on Amazon Prime Video on July 25, 2014 in the UK and U.S. and premiered on August 25 on TVOKids in Ontario, Canada. The show's aim is to educate children about science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) from the perspectives of an 11-year-old girl, her friends, and her three android creations.

SRC and KiKa both agreed to opt for 26 episodes of Annedroids over two seasons, while TVO purchased four seasons.[2] Amazon picked up Annedroids for a second season,[3] which was released on July 2, 2015.[4][5] In 2016 it was nominated for a Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Children's Series.[6] Season 3 was released on June 24, 2016.[7] The fourth and final season was released on March 3, 2017.[8] As of June 12, 2024, Annedroids is no longer available from Amazon Prime Video.
