Netflix has acquired the intellectual property (IP) behind its Emmy-winning children’s series Ask the StoryBots. It previously co-produced the series with StoryBots creator and owner JibJab Bros. Studios, but with this new deal, it now owns rights to everything concerning the educational StoryBots characters.
Those characters were originally developed by siblings Gregg and Evan Spiridellis, the founders of JibJab Bros. Studios. JibJab debuted the characters back in 2012 with a website and a dedicated YouTube channel, where they have 611,000 subscribers and still upload short kid-oriented clips and songs about things like the wonders of the solar system, emotions, and dinosaurs.
In 2016, after finding an audience for StoryBots on YouTube, JibJab Bros. signed a deal with Netflix to produce a StoryBots series. Netflix has since offered up two animated seasons of Ask the StoryBots. The series has won five Emmys and brought in high-profile guest stars like Whoopi Goldberg, Wanda Sykes,...
