Wunschpunsch (2020 TV series)

Wunschpunsch is a Canadian-French-American animated television series serving as a reboot to the previous cartoon of the same name, in turn based off of the German book The Night of Wishes. The new animesque series is produced by YTV Family, DHX Media/WildBrain, Télétoon+, CinéGroupe, and NickFamily Studios, being in production since November 2018. The series would premiere on January 23rd, 2020 on YTV Family after the YTV Family Action block, as one of the final YTV Family originals to debut before the channel's Spring 2020 branding overhaul. The series premiered on Nicktoons Family in the United States on January 8th, 2020, before the series' Canadian premiere, with re-runs being added as part of Western Domination beginning in spring 2020. The CW acquired the terrestrial television rights to the series and will air it as part of Nickelodeon Family on The CW.

Disney XD began airing the series in Welsh regions on January 20th, 2020, before taking it off upon becoming Beta Cartoon later in the year. AnimeCore's Beta Cartoon block in Poland began airing the series upon its launch in April 2021.

It was announced that after episode 15 / episode 17, the series would go on hiatus in Canada and the US respectively as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. New episodes would resume in the United States on July 22nd, 2020.

In April 2021, it was announced that the creators have agreed to end the series after 28 episodes due to Aura shifting its resources more towards AuraNightfall and its Flare+ streaming service.
