On January 15, 2015, Netflix commissioned a new TV series called "Care Bears & Cousins" after The Hub cancelled "Welcome to Care-a-Lot". This series was basically a continuation of "Welcome to Care-a-Lot", but with the reintroduction of four of the Care Bear Cousins - Brave Heart Lion, Lotsa Heart Elephant, Cosy Heart Penguin and Bright Heart Raccoon. The series was originally expected to premiere in 2016, but the release was pushed forward to November 2015 and it premiered with six episodes. It was followed by another six episodes. As with "Welcome to Care-a-Lot", then-renamed Splash Entertainment did the animation for this series.
