Production and broadcast

Moley was initially produced as a 30-minute TV special titled Master Moley by Royal Invitation, which first aired on WarnerMedia channel Boomerang in EMEA territories on 28 November 2020.

The TV series, titled Moley, premiered with the first 26 11-minute episodes of a 52-episode season across WarnerMedia EMEA’s Boomerang channel in over 119 countries in October 2021, with a further 26 episodes due for release in the spring of 2022.

Plot

The series follows Moley, a charming, optimistic young mole who lives deep in a burrow in the bustling city of MoleTown. Accompanied by a magical book named Manny, Moley travels around MoleTown learning about new mole cultures and sharing his knowledge of the human world above.

Though Moley is viewed by the citizens of MoleTown as wise and knowledgeable, he's no smarter than the average mole, and often finds himself on entertaining misadventures. His best friends Mona Lisa, Dotty, Mystic Mole, and Mishmosh always come to his rescue.
