‘Super Team Canada’: Will Arnett, Cobie Smulders Join New Animated Superhero Series!!

Canadians Will Arnett and Cobie Smulders are set to lead a ragtag team of superheroes from the Great White North in Super Team Canada. The ten-episode animated series is set to premiere early next year. Deadline reports that the first image and cast from the series were revealed at the upfront presentations for the Canadian streaming service Crave.

The series will showcase a team of misfit Canadian crusaders – including a robotic mailbox, a Sasquatch, and someone who shoots poutine out of their arms – who are called in to save the world when all the better heroes are indisposed. It features an all-Canadian cast, including stars Arnett and Smulders, as well as Kevin McDonald, Charles Demers, Brian Drummond, Ceara Morgana, and Veena Sood; with a guest appearance by Jay Baruchel. The series’ theme song will be performed by Canadian music superstar Bryan Adams. Super Team Canada will be the first animated series commissioned by Crave; the streamer has had international hits with the comedy series Letterkenny and its spinoff, Shoresy. Super Team Canada is currently in production, and is slated to premiere on Crave in early 2025. As of now, however, the series has not been acquired by an American streamer or broadcaster.
