Just weeks before the U.K. release of Paddington 2 (It hits U.S. theaters in January.), Studiocanal announced it has put an animated TV series in development based on the lovable bear created by Michael Bond. Deadline reported that a series is planned for launch in late 2018 or early 2019 "and is part of Studiocanal parent Vivendi's overall strategy to further expand the franchise which also includes Paddington Run, an official mobile game. The first Paddington film, produced by David Heyman, grossed $268M worldwide."
