The Les Pyjamasques book series by Romuald Racioppo is the inspiration for the children’s television series PJ Masks or Pyjamasques in French. The production, which is done by Frog Box, Entertainment One UK Limited, Walt Disney EMEA Productions Limited, and TeamTO, includes France Télévisions and Disney Junior.
The program is broadcast globally on Disney Junior channels of Disney Branded Television; in France, it is broadcast on France 5. It is also shown on TV Cultura in Brazil, Tiny Pop in the UK, ABC Kids in Australia, RAI YoYo in Italy, and Televisa in Mexico.
It quickly rose to prominence as both one of the most popular Disney Junior shows and a global favorite among young viewers.
The series first aired on Disney Junior in the US on September 18, 2015, and on France 5 and Disney Junior in France on December 18, 2015. The program premiered on Disney Junior in Canada on February 7, 2016.
In June 2016, a second season was officially announced, and it debuted on January 15, 2018. On April 19, 2019, the first episode of the third season began.
It’s possible that the COVID-19 pandemic, which decreased Entertainment One’s produced/acquired television half-hour content from 339 for 2019 to 276 for 2020 starting in the second quarter, played a role in the fourth season’s April 2020 debut.

The show’s third season received the green light on January 22, 2018, but debuted on April 19, 2018, rather than the anticipated June 2019 date.
