Bratz (TV series)

Bratz (also known as Bratz: The Series) is an American animated television series based on the Bratz toy dolls. Produced by Mike Young Productions and MGA Entertainment, it aired on Fox's 4Kids TV from September 10, 2005 to October 14, 2006. In 2008, after a hiatus, it was renewed for season 2. It focuses on four female teens who run their own magazine. In 2021, a web series titled "Talking' Bratz" that featured a similar CGI animation style to the original series, aired on the official Bratz TikTok page. Set in the same world as the original series, it saw cast members Olivia Hack and Ogie Banks reprise their roles as Cloe and Dylan, respectively. The voice actresses are an all-star cast featuring Hack, Soleil Moon Frye, Tia Mowry, Dionne Quan, Wendie Malick, Lacey Chabert, and Kaley Cuoco. From 2018-2020, the series' episodes were uploaded to the Bratz YouTube channel.

Season 1 featured an all-star cast, before being replaced in the second season. In 2023, one of the original voice actors anonymously revealed the reason none of the original cast returned for a second season was due to the 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike and the mishandling of finances by MGA Entertainment.

Season 2 had a new voice acting cast, with Canadian voice actresses consisting of Britt McKillip, Britt Irvin, Dorla Bell, Maryke Hendrikse, Ellie Harvie, Kelly Sheridan, and Ashleigh Ball taking the main roles. This ultimately led to the cancellation of the series due to low ratings.

The show had produced films based on the series line of dolls, and spawned video games based its series. Some of the series include spin-offs, like Bratz Babyz, Bratz Kidz or the Bratz in their original style. Others include Bratzillaz and Bratz: C.I.Y. Shoppe Webseries, which included different plots to serve as reboots.
