Pocket.watch, a kids and family entertainment company that focuses on creating franchises out of Gen Alpha's favorite Youtube characters, has launched its newest animated series 'Onyx Monster Mysteries.'
The new series, which will also be launched with related games and merch, is the result of the company's recent partnership with Onyx Family. For those unfamiliar, Onyx Family is a popular Youtube channel that follows the lives of two parents, Rita and Mirthell, and their four children. So far, the family has amassed over seven million followers on social media, and their videos on Youtube have received over three billion views.
In the new collaboration, the Onyx Family is converted into cartoon characters to create the epic adventure series 'Onyx Monster Mysteries,' which was developed by Albie Hecht, chief content officer of Pocket.watch. The series will follow the animated family as they try to preserve the world's most threatened and misunderstood species: monsters.
