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, the series' third season, split into two parts titled CodeScan Gamer and CodeScan XT respectively, was announced to be released on Flare+. Part 1 will release on August 15th, 2021 for streaming, with a television broadcast on Beta Cartoon beginning at least 30 days after the Flare+ release. Reruns of the first two seasons would continue to air on Nicktoons Family.

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.

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 would also air on the channel.

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".
 * This series is the first Nicktoons Family original series not commissioned by Ravenworks to be produced entirely without NickFamily Studios' involvement.
