The production greenlight is scheduled by Autumn 2025 for a first season of 26 episodes of 11 minutes each. The international release is expected by early 2027, celebrating the 30th anniversary of the first airing of The Triplets on Catalan TV. This new adaptation will include a total of 2 seasons (52 episodes), aiming to follow the tremendous international success of the classic series, which traveled to over 160 countries.
Spanish production company Peekaboo Animation and Italian production and audio postproduction studio RainFrog have signed a coproduction agreement for the new The Triplets. They have also confirmed the participation of RAI, the public Italian broadcaster, as commissioning partner. In addition, a second coproduction deal has been signed between Peekaboo and Portuguese studio Sardinha em Lata, based in Lisbon, while the broadcast rights are secured by public broadcaster RTP for this territory.
Javier Galán, producer at Peekaboo, said:
We are committed to honoring the legacy of The Triplets while bringing fresh creativity and innovation to this new version of the show.
Iván Agenjo, Peekaboo’s producer, added:
It’s a challenge and a great responsibility that we are delighted to take on. We are confident that we have found the right partners for this show, who will help us create a new classic for new audiences in Spain and abroad.
The series tells the story of Anna, Helena and Teresa, three curious and imaginative sisters who are magically transported to different times and places through their games. During their journeys, they encounter a variety of historical and fictional characters from all over the world, sharing countless adventures alongside the Bored Witch.
The current adaptation is built around the themes of helping others, solving conflicts, and overcoming obstacles through teamwork. The stories are grounded in core values such as diversity, inclusivity, positivity, respect, and natural girl empowerment. These values are always presented within the framework of comedy. The new designs and format are thought to adapt to the needs and preferences of today’s young viewers, offering a fresh, modern twist, while keeping the essence and same spirit as the beloved old characters.
Giuseppe Franchi, CEO of Rain Frog, stated:
We’re so thrilled to be part of this amazing project that will bring back such an iconic property in a brand-new animated series. This show fascinated so many children in the ‘90s in Italy, including us, and RAI is the perfect partner to reach the new generations with original stories and unmissable adventures.
The partnerships with Italy and Portugal have been negotiated by broker and executive producer Trini Cuevas. They strengthen the already robust line-up of coproducers and commissioners of the project. This includes public stations RTVE and 3CAT in Spain, with the support of the Catalan Institute of Cultural Companies (ICEC).
Nuno Beato, producer CEO of Sardinha em Lata, added:
Our collaboration in a brand that is already established in the market is very important for the strengthening of the company at an international level, and a significant step in the history of animation production in Portugal.
