Omens Studios Is Taking Its Kids’ Favorites Beyond the Screen

The adventure doesn’t have to end when the episode does.

As the children’s entertainment landscape continues to expand beyond traditional television, some of the strongest kids’ franchises are finding new ways to allow young fans to carry their favorite characters into how they learn, play and create.

Now Omens Studios is making that jump in a much bigger way.

The studio is expanding the worlds surrounding Leo the Wildlife Ranger, Paula & Pals and 123 Number Squad! through a growing collection of new content, merchandise, apps, toys, digital experiences and even Roblox.

It is a move that gives these already established children’s properties something particularly important: more ways to become part of a child’s everyday world.

Leading the expansion is Leo the Wildlife Ranger, which has already grown into an international children’s franchise. The series has been sold into more than 100 territories, while its YouTube presence has generated billions of views and its existing mobile game has been downloaded hundreds of thousands of times.

Now Leo is heading beyond the screen.

Omens Studios is launching a dedicated Leo the Wildlife Ranger e-commerce store featuring storybooks, activity books and merchandise, with apparel, bags, stickers and plush planned to follow during the fourth quarter of 2026.

And that is just the start.

New Leo toys are also being developed alongside another app and a Roblox experience, creating several different entry points into the franchise depending on how kids want to play.

For families, that expansion can create a stronger connection between what children watch and what they do away from the screen. A story seen in an episode can continue through a book, become imaginative play with a toy or turn into a completely different interactive adventure inside a game.

But Omens Studios isn’t only expanding through traditional merchandise.

Learning remains a major piece of the picture.

The studio is launching “123 Number Squad: Play N Learn,” a new educational app aimed at children ages 3 to 6 that uses numbers, counting, early math, memory, logic and problem-solving as the foundation for play.

The app is currently available in English, with Chinese and Spanish editions planned for later this year.

Meanwhile, Paula & Pals is also getting ready to introduce kids to another increasingly important skill set: coding.

The upcoming Paula & Pals Season 2: Boot Up! takes young viewers back to Numberville, where robots, gadgets and smart technology are becoming part of everyday life. But when some bad code starts creating problems, Paula and her friends have to figure out how to make things right.

Through those adventures, the series will introduce younger audiences to basic coding ideas such as creating and debugging programs, while using block coding to encourage logical thinking and problem-solving.

It is an interesting evolution for a preschool property.

Rather than separating entertainment, education and play into completely different experiences, Omens Studios appears to be building worlds where each can naturally connect with the others.

And that may be increasingly important as the way kids interact with their favorite franchises continues to change.

Television can introduce the characters, but books can encourage reading, apps can reinforce skills, toys can inspire imaginative play and interactive spaces can give children another opportunity to explore those worlds for themselves.

For Leo the Wildlife Ranger, Paula & Pals and 123 Number Squad!, their next adventures are becoming much bigger than another collection of episodes.

Omens Studios is building out the worlds around them — and giving kids and families plenty of new ways to come along for the adventure.
