Animation Adaptation of Famous Warrior Cats Novel Series Is Led by Original Force

The company will ensure that the first official animated series will please fans and new viewers alike.

Warrior Cats fans, it's time to hook your children on the popular novels if you haven't already done it: the franchise will receive its first officially authorized animated series in 2028, led by Original Force, a company specializing in CG and game art, which contributed to DreamWorks' Dragons: Riders of Berk, the Tales of Arcadia trilogy, NeZha 2, God of War Ragnarök, Baldur's Gate 3, Black Myth: Wukong, and more.

The Warriors books tell exciting stories featuring clans of stray cats, and the show will be based on the first novel, Warriors: The Prophecies Begin.

Together with Tencent Video and Coolabi Group, Original Force will bring the show to Tencent Video platforms in China and Southeast Asia and Disney+ and Disney Channel internationally.

This is Original Force's first lead producer role on a premium international animated series, but it will surely bloom into something beautiful with help from two Emmy-winning specialists: showrunner A.C. Bradley (Ms. Marvel, What If...?, Trollhunters: Tales of Arcadia) and director Rodrigo Blaas (Star Wars: Visions – Sith, Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, Ratatouille, WALL-E).

"Warrior Cats represents exactly the kind of project Original Force was built for. We have spent more than two decades developing the creative infrastructure, the technical excellence, and the international partnerships to lead a production of this scale and ambition. This is not simply a service engagement — it is Original Force stepping into its role as a global leader in CG-driven content production, bringing together the finest creative talent in the world to deliver something genuinely extraordinary," said Harley Zhao, Founder and CEO of Original Force.

Original Force's executive producer Adam Zhang (10 Lives, Duck Duck Goose, L.O.R.D.) and producer Yihuan Wu (Honor of Kings: Chapter of Glory, Monsters in the Forbidden City, Deer Squad, Season 4) have a lot of responsibility: Warriors is a franchise important to many fans, and this is a great opportunity to draw new ones.

With the company's 25 years of experience, it will definitely create a beautiful adventure for both children and adults.
