WildBrain brings the International Emmy-nominated series to U.S. audiences, starting with launch on The Roku Channel
Toronto – March 24, 2026 – WildBrain, a global leader in family entertainment, has signed an agreement to represent FAST and AVOD rights in the U.S. for French animation studio HARI’s smash hit animated comedy, Grizzy & the Lemmings. Building momentum for the series, WildBrain has teamed up with The Roku Channel to bring the Grizzy & the Lemmings single-IP FAST channel to its U.S. platform, launched today. Additionally, the series is featured across multiple WildBrain YouTube channels, including WildBrain Kids and WildBrain Zoo.
International Emmy-nominated series Grizzy & the Lemmings is a hugely popular, fast-paced, non-dialogue slapstick comedy that follows the hilarious rivalry between Grizzy—a grumpy bear who claims the ranger’s house as his own—and a tribe of fearless lemmings who turn his quiet life into chaos. With four seasons (78 x 7’ each) available, and a fifth currently in production, the series airs in 200 territories across linear and streaming platforms. Grizzy & the Lemmings consistently ranks among Netflix’s Top 10 most-watched kids’ animated titles worldwide, including in the U.S., reinforcing its sustained popularity with audiences in key markets. Generating over two billion YouTube views annually, the brand continues to demonstrate exceptional cross-platform momentum and strong family co-viewing engagement worldwide.
Lara Ilie, VP AVOD and FAST at WildBrain, said: “FAST continues to be one of the most exciting growth opportunities in kids’ entertainment and Grizzy & the Lemmings is a perfect example of the kind of premium content that kids and families love to engage with on these platforms. HARI has managed to captivate audiences around the world with this hilarious, high-energy series, and The Roku Channel is the ideal partner to further expand the series’ reach in the U.S.”
Sophie “Kido” Prigent, Director of Strategic Partnerships & Financing at HARI, said: “We’re incredibly excited to see Grizzy & the Lemmings launch its own FAST channel in the U.S.—a true milestone that reflects the love families have for the series around the world. Having a dedicated destination on The Roku Channel feels both humbling and deeply rewarding. We’re grateful to WildBrain for their expertise and partnership in bringing this channel to life and proud to see Grizzy take its place among today’s leading family brands on the platform.”
The new Grizzy & the Lemmings channel joins WildBrain’s existing lineup of FAST channels on The Roku Channel, which includes Pokémon and Inspector Gadget. WildBrain is the world’s leading expert in harnessing FAST for kids’ content, with over 180 FAST channels launched for multiple kids and family brands across platforms worldwide, offering partners the expertise, operational infrastructure, platform relationships and insights needed to leverage and optimize the FAST opportunity.
