CodeScan

CodeScan is an American-British animesque animated television series produced at Jetix Cymru (credited as "Disney XD Productions Cardiff") for Nicktoons Family. The series was in development since 2017. The series began airing in the United States on August 19th, 2019 on Nicktoons Family, and will air at a later date on The CW's Nickelodeon Family on The CW block. Aura Television Productions distributes the series in North America, the UK, and Germany.

In February 2020, it was announced that the series was renewed for a second season, under the name CodeScan SuperDrive, set for an August 17th, 2020 premiere on Nicktoons Family. It was also announced that post-SuperDrive seasons would switch production to Aura Television Productions UK.

In June 2020, Beta Cartoon Productions announced it was investing $10M USD into the series to help fund the production of the series and improve the animation quality of later seasons.

In May 2021, it was announced that all future CodeScan seasons, starting with the series' third season (split into two parts titled CodeScan Gamer and CodeScan XT respectively), would be released on Flare+ rather than aired on Nicktoons Family. Part 1 released on August 15th, 2021 for streaming, with a television broadcast on Beta Cartoon beginning at least 30 days after the Flare+ release. Part 2 would follow in November 2021. Reruns of the first two seasons would continue to air on Nicktoons Family until its rebrand as NFCartoons in 2022.

On June 18th, 2021, it was announced that CodeScan was renewed for a fourth season, which would release in 2022. In October 2021, it was announced that the season would be split into two parts of 13 episodes each, similar to the third season; in January 2022, the two parts' titles and episode titles were revealed (as CodeScan Ballgame and CodeScan All-Stars respectively).

Premise
Each season focuses on three friends who find a machine that can scan bar-codes on several items (mostly toys they already own) and use them to their advantage (i.e. turning their toys into powerful monsters). However, the friends are chased down by a mysterious organization who plan on taking over the game.

CodeScan Ballgame

 * Ballgame is the first installment not to have an companion, presumably due to being a season revolving around baseball and thus adding a companion would not make sense.
 * Ballgame is also the first installment where the main villains are defeated without using barcodes, not counting the barcodes used to summon the baseball bats.
 * Ballgame is the first installment to reference other former Nicktoons Family original series besides Card Masters, via referencing Baseball Team 106.
 * Ballgame is slated to be the only installment where the main characters don't upgrade their barcode machines by the end of the story.

CodeScan All-Stars

 * All-Stars is the first installment not to introduce new main characters, instead using characters from previous stories (such as the leaders of the respective seasons/half-seasons and their companions).
 * All-Stars is slated to be the only installment where the main characters are transported into the world of CodeScan for episode one, whereas previous seasons/installments of the series have the characters go to the world of CodeScan in the second episodes of each season/installment.

Syndication
In September 2019, Beta Cartoon bought the U.S. cable syndication rights to the series alongside Card Masters.

In Wales, Aura (then known as Disney Channel Wales) began airing the first season in syndication in May 2020; the third season onward was originally slated to also air on the channel, but has since been moved exclusively to Flare+ in the UK and Ireland.

Trivia

 * Jetix Cymru staff, when asked whether or not the show will compete against Bakutsuri Bar Hunter, have stated that "there are no similarities between that anime and this show".
 * The first two seasons are, so far, the only Nicktoons Family original series not commissioned by Ravenworks to be produced entirely without NickFamily Studios' involvement.
