Taffy (TV series)


Taffy is a French animated television series co-created by Mike de Sève and Pierre Sissman. The series is produced by Cyber Group Studios, in co-production with Turner Broadcasting System Europe with the participation of France 4 for the first season and WarnerMedia and Gulli for the second season. The series airs on Boomerang all across Europe. In September 2019, the series was renewed for a second season. On March 30, 2022, Cyber Group Studios and Gulli renewed the series for a third season.
In July 2022, the show was removed from all Boomerang international channels following the Warner Bros. Discovery purge for tax write-off purposes, thus causing Season 3 to be delayed indefinitely. Cyber Group Studios instead aired most of the second season on Disney Channel in most of Europe. The remaining Season 2 episodes aired on CBBC.

Plot

The series follows a stray, grey raccoon named Scraggs, who gets adopted by Mrs. Muchmore after thinking he is a cat named Taffy. Her main pet, a blue dobermann named Bentley, is determined to reveal Taffy's secret to Mrs. Muchmore, which leads to luxurious antics as both Bentley and Scraggs/Taffy attempt to outdo each other with the goal of both being to rid the property of the other one. Other characters include Mrs. Muchmore's butler, Forsythe, her lovestruck fitness trainer, Binikos, and friends – Addie, a little girl and Mrs. Muchmore's granddaughter, and Taffy's raccoon friends from the dump, Mish, Mash and Mush. Several other secondary and background characters appear often in the show, like Mrs. Muchmore's friends, Mrs. Highcost and Mrs. Allperfect, who are also rich ladies, and Forsythe's child genius nephew Alex, whose inventions tend to wind up occasionally being used by Scraggs/Taffy or Bentley against one another.

Production

In July 2017, France Télévisions partnered up with Boomerang to begin producing a Tom and Jerry-inspired slapstick cartoon, which would premiere in the fall of 2018 with a total of 78 episodes. The show uses digital puppet animation, with stylized designs reminiscent of cartoons in the 1950s and 1990s. In September 2019, a second season was renewed, containing 78 seven-minute segments, which was set to premiere in 2020 but was delayed to 2022 on multiple Boomerang channels. In March 2022, a third season was announced. As of 2025, it is unknown whether the season will be produced, following the series being written off for taxes by Warner Bros. Discovery and the collapse of Cyber Group Studios in November 2024.
The series is animated by Toon City in the Philippines.
