Jacob Two-Two is a Canadian animated television series based on the Jacob Two-Two books written by Mordecai Richler.[1] The show first aired on September 7, 2003, on YTV in Canada.[2] The show also aired on Qubo (as one of the network's launch shows) in the United States, and on the French-language network VRAK.TV as Jacob Jacob. After Jacob and his family moved to Montreal from England, he encounters new challenges in his hometown. Jacob, his siblings, and his mother were named after Richler's children and wife.

Nelvana and 9 Story Entertainment produced the series' 62 episodes in association with YTV and Salter Street Films. Funbag Animation Studios, Atomic Cartoons, and Nitrogen Studios provided animation. The series ended on May 19, 2006.[3]

In March 2004, Fox Kids Europe acquired the pay television rights to the show's first two seasons for the United Kingdom, Ireland, Scandinavia, Italy, Germany, Spain, Portugal and the Netherlands.[4]
