The Redwall television series is based on the Redwall novels by Brian Jacques. It was made by the Canada-based Nelvana and France-based Alphanim. It spans three seasons, the first based on the first book Redwall, the second based on Mattimeo and the third based on Martin the Warrior. Production is thought to have ended, but if there is a fourth season it will likely be based on Mossflower. The series airs on some PBS channels in the USA, and occasionally airs on Teletoon in Canada. It has been dubbed into the Māori and Hebrew language and currently airs on Māori Television in New Zealand and on Arutz Ha'Yladim (The Kids Channel) in Israel.
