The popular game Fruit Ninja is getting an animated series.
The series is produced by Halfbrick Studios, the original creator of the Fruit Ninja game and marks the first foray into television for the brand. Fruit Ninja: Frenzy Force is an animated series that follows the humble beginnings of four Fruit Ninjas who run a juice stand as a front for their secret ninja dojo. Fans are introduced to the four young ninjas—Seb, Niya, Peng, and Ralph—who have been training to unlock the ancient secrets of Juice-Jitsu. When a time portal opens, transporting a 10000-year-old ninja, Durian Grey, into the modern world, the four must come together to defeat him and a cast of evil characters who have pledged to wipe out the Fruit Ninjas once and for all. The four new characters introduced in the TV series will then debut in game.
Fruit Ninja: Frenzy Force is the latest program to debut as part of YouTube Red’s slate of original programs for families. The inaugural YouTube Red Originals for Families, DanTDM Creates a Big Scene and Kings of Atlantis, debuted earlier this month.
