The Bravest Knight
The Bravest Knight is a Canadian animated television series, produced by Big Bad Boo Studios and a Hulu original, which became the first kids original on the streaming service. The first episodes were added to the streaming service on June 21, 2019 and the other eight on October 11, 2019. The show was created by Daniel Errico and directed by Shabnam Rezaei. It is a fantasy and adventure story focused on how a young pumpkin farmer turned into the "bravest knight" through wild adventures across the lands, which he tells his adopted daughter. The series is one of the first all-ages animations to have an "openly gay main character".
On February 20, 2024, it was announced a second season is currently in production. The first part of season 2 was released on December 13, 2024. The second part of season 2 was released on June 20, 2025.
Cedric, formerly a pumpkin farmer and now married to a prince named Andrew, tells the story of how he became the "greatest knight" to his 10-year-old adopted daughter, Nia.
In an attempt to get Nia, a not-yet-knight, to learn from his example, he recounts the challenges he encountered along the way, accompanied by his friend Grunt. Nia, in the process, learns how to be her "best self" and that being a knight is more than just slaying dragons.
CBC Gem released the episodes in two batches, 1-6 on 13 December 2024 and 7-13 on 18 April 2025. CBC Kids televised the releases in order one episode per Sunday morning following their online releases as follows:
The show is based on Errico's novel The Bravest Knight Who Ever Lived and a short animation which premiered in 2015 of the same name.
Shabnam Rezaei, who founded Big Bad Boo Studios with her husband Aly Jetha, was the producer of the series. Rezaei later said that it has been a "pleasure to work alongside Hulu." She also said that the show is teaching life lessons and called it an "adventure about how to be a great knight" and how to be a good person. She also remained confident the show would air in Canada, parts of Western Europe, the UK, and Australia. The show itself was greenlit by Hulu in November 2017 and went into production in early 2018, with "approximately 120 people working on the show," with Errico and Randy Rogel writing the stories for each episode, with the animation done in Vancouver. The show was supervised by Eddie Soriano, while Paddy Gillen was VP of production, and Benjie Randall was the casting director. The show's biggest challenge was, as Rezaei admitted, the budget, in trying to cast big-name stars like RuPaul and Wanda Sykes.
Apart from this, Enrico, in a September 2019 interview, said that he was inspired to create the character after reading fairytales and trying to create "multi-dimensional protagonists who also happened to be gay," but stated that it was not a sure thing that Hulu would take the series. He also said that while he hasn't had the opportunity of working with many other writers, he realizes that as a white and cisgender man, that "fair access to opportunities in family entertainment demands a dedication to change," with the necessity of working with "creative writers of color." Furthermore, he said that each episode has a lesson, and to touch on themes like self-confidence, forgiveness, and a message of "being yourself and being true to yourself." Elsewhere he stated the importance of "giving children more role models, more diverse examples or heroes" and noted that most networks he approached with the story were "resistant to having an LGBTQ protagonist," but Hulu gave the show a green light.
