‘Be@rbrick’ Trailer Kicks Off Apple TV+’s New Music-Filled Animated Series

Today, Apple TV+ released the trailer for Be@rbrick, the highly anticipated, music-driven animated comedy series for kids and families, set to premiere globally on Friday, March 21.

Inspired by the collectible figures from Medicom Toy, the 13-episode series is produced and animated by DreamWorks Animation and Dentsu Inc., with original songs by four-time Grammy Award-winning producer Timbaland.

Synopsis: Be@rbrick follows Jasmine Finch and her bandmates as they pursue their dreams and inspire others to do the same. But it won’t be easy to do when living in a world where everyone’s role is chosen for them and where the painted-on look you receive when you graduate from high school determines who you’ll be for the rest of your life. Jasmine realizes that in order for her world to change, she and her friends will have to make it happen themselves.

The series is developed by Daytime Emmy Award nominee Meghan McCarthy (My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, Centaurworld), who also serves as showrunner, executive producer and writer. Alex Almaguer (TrollsTopia) is the supervising producer, with Taylor Orci (Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts) as story editor and Athena Hofmann (Amateur) as line producer.

The voice cast features Brianna Bryan as Jasmine, Skyla I’Lece as Holly, Isaiah Crews as Nick, Alison Jaye as Ada and Noah Bentley as Klaus. Guest stars include Tim Meadows as Mr. Hitmaker, Katy Mixon as Ms. Goldenshorts, Ego Nwodim as Charlene, Emily Hampshire as Janet and Debra Jo Rupp as Miss Milton.

Timbaland serves as executive music producer and guest voice of “BRBX Media DJ,” with an original score by Jina Hyojin An (XO, Kitty) and Shirley Song (Exploding Kittens).

Be@rbrick marks the latest collaboration for Apple TV+ and DreamWorks Animation, joining Jim Cooper and Jeff Dixon’s Emmy-nominated animated series Curses!, exec produced by John Krasinski; GLAAD Media Award-nominated Pinecone & Pony, based on the book The Princess and the Pony by New York Times bestselling author Kate Beaton; and Doug Unplugs, based on Dan Yaccarino’s Doug Unplugged book series.
