PJ Masks (which is Pyjamasques in French) is a fun computer-animated superhero TV show for kids. It's made by Frog Box, Entertainment One UK Limited, Walt Disney EMEA Productions Limited, and TeamTO. The show also gets help from France Télévisions and Disney Junior.

The series is based on the Les Pyjamasques book series by Romuald Racioppo. You can watch PJ Masks all over the world on Disney Branded Television's Disney Junior channels. In France, where it's from, it airs on France 5. It also shows on Tiny Pop in the UK, ABC Kids in Australia, and other channels worldwide. It's one of the most popular shows on Disney Junior.

The show first aired in the United States on Disney Junior on September 18, 2015. In France, it started on December 18, 2015. A second season was announced in June 2016 and began airing in January 2018. The third season started in April 2019, and the fourth season followed in May 2020. A fifth season premiered on August 13, 2021. The show was renewed for a sixth season in June 2021, which is expected to air in 2023.

In December 2019, Hasbro bought Entertainment One. This means PJ Masks became the first Disney Junior show owned by Hasbro.

Meet the PJ Masks Heroes

This section explains what the show is about. It introduces the main characters and their mission.

What the Show is About

When night comes, three friends named Amaya, Greg, and Connor turn into the superhero team known as the PJ Masks. Their job is to fight bad guys and stop them from messing up everyone's day. Amaya becomes Owlette, who is like an owl. Greg transforms into Gekko, who is like a lizard. And Connor becomes Catboy, who is like a cat.

The PJ Masks Team

The PJ Masks are the main superhero team in the show. They fight crime at night to protect the city.

• Connor / Catboy (voiced by Evan O'Donnell in Season 5–present): Connor has brown hair and blue eyes. When he transforms, he wears a blue cat costume. His special powers include super speed, amazing hearing, high jumps, and powerful strikes.
• Amaya / Owlette (voiced by Addison Holley): Amaya has dark brown hair and wears glasses. She has a pink, wing-shaped hair clip. As Owlette, she wears a red owl costume. Her powers include seeing in the dark, flying, creating strong gusts of wind with her wings, and using super feathers.
• Greg / Gekko (voiced by Benjamin Hum in Season 4–present): Greg has blonde hair and green eyes. When he transforms, he wears a green lizard costume with a thick tail and fins on his head. His powers are super strength, turning invisible (though sometimes you can still see him a little), sticking to walls, and creating shields.
• PJ Robot (voiced by Juan Luis Bonilla): This robot helps out at the PJ Masks' headquarters. Romeo first created him to spy on the heroes, but PJ Robot decided to join the good side instead.

• Dylan / Armadylan (voiced by Cristian Perri, Avery Esteves, Christian Campbell, and TBA): Dylan is a strong boy who is like an armadillo.

• An Yu (voiced by Kari Wong): An Yu is a samurai girl who uses her special bo staff. She can use it as a weapon or to fly. The staff also turns into a magic flute and gives her powers. She lives in a special forest that you can only enter through portals. If she leaves the forest, her powers disappear, but she can still do martial arts.
• Santa Claus (voiced by Ron Pardo): Santa Claus teamed up with the PJ Masks in the episode "The PJ Masks Save Christmas."
• Newton / Newton Star (voiced by Shomoy James Mitchell): Newton is a boy from space who appeared after a strange asteroid accident. The PJ Masks first met him in space. During the day, he is a boy with glasses who hangs out in the Museum's Library. His powers include creating shields, surfing on asteroids, making white orbs, and flying and breathing in space without special gear.

• The Wolfy Kids: Often called "the Wolfies," this group includes Rip (voiced by Shechinah Mpumlwana), Howler (voiced by Kaden Stephen and Matthew Mucci), and Kevin (voiced by Ethan Pugiotto). They are werewolf siblings who love to cause mischief. Their only power is shouting out red energy rings that create strong winds.
• Octobella (voiced by Michela Luci): Octobella is an octopus-girl who lives in her lair in the moat. At first, she seemed friendly to the PJ Masks. But when Gekko took a crystal from her home, she saw them as thieves and became their enemy.

She can also give others the ability to breathe underwater.

• Pharaoh Boy (voiced by Logan Nicholson): Pharaoh Boy is a mystical young pharaoh who came through a portal in the museum. He tried to boss the PJ Masks around and control their powers using his Staff of Ra. His Staff of Ra gives him powers that work everywhere. Like Romeo, he also wants to take over the world.
• Orticia (voiced by Markeda McKay): Orticia is a plant-like girl who can control and grow plants. Romeo created her to be his helper, but she decided to go her own way. She turned three ordinary pumpkins into human-like friends. In the episode "Pondweed Party," Orticia learned about friendship and became friends with the PJ Masks.
• Pirate Robot (voiced by Wyatt White): Romeo accidentally programmed this robot to find treasures like a real pirate. He calls Owlette his pirate queen. In "Owlette, the Pirate Queen," he changed from a villain to a hero.
• The Speedy Twins: Carly (voiced by Emma Ho) and Cartoka (voiced by Ian Ho) are twin siblings who are very fast. They are Catboy's main rivals. They stole the PJ Masks' original three vehicles and combined them into their own Flashcar. The PJ Riders helped the PJ Masks get their vehicles back.
