Chronology
Preceded by Thomas & Friends

Thomas & Friends: All Engines Go! is a fun American and Canadian computer-animated TV show for kids. It's a new version, or "reboot," of the classic Thomas & Friends series. That original show ran for many years, from 1984 to 2021.

This new series was first thought to be the 25th season of the old show. But then, Mattel Television said it was a completely new series. All Engines Go! brings a fresh look and new stories to the world of Thomas. It started in October 2021.

How the Show Was Made

In October 2020, Mattel Television teamed up with Corus Entertainment's Nelvana Studio. They decided to make two new seasons of the Thomas & Friends series. These seasons would have 104 episodes, each lasting 11 minutes. There would also be two special episodes, each an hour long.

The new episodes were created using 2D animation. This means they look more like traditional cartoons. The creators wanted to add more physical comedy and music to the show.

On January 27, 2021, it was announced that these new episodes would be part of a brand new series. This new series was named Thomas & Friends: All Engines Go!. Christopher Keenan, one of the main producers, said the show was made for today's viewers. He also said it would keep the main ideas and spirit of Thomas. This new show does not continue the old stories. Instead, it starts fresh with its own new adventures.

Where to Watch It

On February 5, 2021, it was shared that Cartoon Network and Netflix would show the series in the United States. Cartoon Network broadcasts the show on its Cartoonito block for young children. Netflix offers it for streaming. We don't yet know who will show the series in the United Kingdom.

A short preview, called a teaser trailer, for the show was shared online on January 27, 2021.
