What began as an app with a talking cat has grown into one of the world’s most recognizable entertainment brands. Over the past decade, Talking Tom & Friends has evolved beyond mobile screens to become a global entertainment brand that connects across generations.
As its audience has grown, so has the ambition behind the franchise. To take its legacy further, Outfit7 set out to evolve the brand from a mobile phenomenon into a transmedia universe that lives and thrives across platforms and across a variety of experiences. With Talking Tom Heroes: Suddenly Super, the characters are reimagined with softer stories and age-appropriate adventures designed for preschoolers.
After finding success in several international markets, the series recently lit up screens in the United Kingdom on BBC CBeebies, marking a major step in its global expansion.
Reimagining Heroes Together
Created in collaboration with Epic Story Media and ReDefine Originals, part of the award-winning DNEG Group, Talking Tom Heroes: Suddenly Super was created to tell stories that feel as relatable as they are exciting. From the start, the vision wasn’t just to tell just another adventure story, but to explore what it means to be “super” in everyday life.
In this reimagined world, Talking Tom, Talking Angela, Talking Ben, and Talking Hank discover their powers by accident, and their adventures are really about learning, teamwork, and creativity. The series shows that true heroism comes not from perfection, but from kindness, courage, and imagination, a message that feels universal wherever the show is watched.
A Global Rollout
The journey began in Italy, where kids instantly connected with its humor and warmth. From there, Talking Tom Heroes: Suddenly Super expanded to Southeast Asia, Hong Kong, South Korea, and Taiwan, bringing its playful spirit to new audiences across the region.
In October 2025, the series reached another milestone with its BBC CBeebies premiere in the United Kingdom, further strengthening the series’s global presence and connecting the brand with one of the world’s most trusted preschool destinations.
Beyond the Screen
From the beginning, Talking Tom Heroes: Suddenly Super has been designed to live beyond television. A range of toys and licensed products is now in development, giving children new ways to play and imagine with their hero friends. Plush toys, figures, and playsets will launch alongside the series in each region, letting kids continue the adventure long after the credits roll.
Looking Ahead
For Outfit7, Talking Tom Heroes: Suddenly Super marks an important step in transforming an award-winning mobile IP into a truly global transmedia universe. It continues the brand’s mission to tell meaningful, playful stories that inspire creativity and connection across borders.
With more than 25 billion downloads and audiences in over 150 countries, Talking Tom & Friends has already become part of daily life for millions. Now, through Talking Tom Heroes: Suddenly Super, that joy is reaching a new generation, proving that even the smallest heroes can make a big difference.
