ABCmouse is packing up for a brand-new adventure.
The trusted early learning platform is expanding its storytelling reach with the launch of Backpack Adventures, an all-new CG-animated series premiering May 22nd on YouTube Kids and inside the ABCmouse app. Designed for children ages 2–6, the new series brings the familiar world of ABCmouse into a colorful 3D space packed with comedy, heart and educational fun.
Fans will reunite with beloved characters including ABC Mouse, Do-Re-Mi Mouse and 123 Mouse as they set off on a collection of story-driven adventures that blend entertainment with foundational learning skills. The series will rollout across 20 episodes, with new installments arriving every other Friday.
Among the upcoming adventures are episodes such as Book Fair Frenzy, Fintastic Voyage, Friends Stick Together, No Matter the Weather and Tooth Sleuths.
As educational entertainment continues to evolve alongside how children consume media, Backpack Adventures looks to meet young audiences where they already are- on streaming and digital platforms. While maintaining the curriculum-focused foundation families have trusted for years, the series places a greater emphasis on immersive storytelling, humor and replay-worthy adventures.
The launch also builds on ABCmouse’s growing presence on YouTube, where the brand has already amassed more than 2.2 million subscribers and billions of views. With the arrival of Backpack Adventures, the company is continuing to expand beyond traditional educational activities and further into character-driven entertainment that still keeps learning at its core.
The series is also part of the larger relaunch and reimagining of ABCmouse that debuted in late 2025, bringing updated experiences and personalized learning tools to children ages 2–8. Families using the ABCmouse app will receive early access to episodes before they later arrive on YouTube Kids.
As more children’s brands continue to merge entertainment with educational value, Backpack Adventures looks positioned to become another major step forward for ABCmouse as it expands its footprint in the world of animated preschool storytelling.
