All aboard! Arriving on Monday, September 23 at 8 p.m., Infinity Train centres on Tulip (voiced by Ashley Johnson, Teen Titans Go!), a headstrong 12-year-old girl, who must use her wits to uncover the train’s many secrets – and hopefully return home.

TREEHOUSE Premieres

Agent Binky: Pets of the Universe blasts off on Saturday, September 7 at 12:40 p.m.  Based on the Kids Can Press graphic novel series, and presented by redknot, a joint venture between Nelvana and Discovery, Inc., the series follows Binky and his fellow P.U.R.S.T. agents (Pets of the Universe Ready for Space Travel) as they protect their human families from aliens, robots, and interstellar threats. It’s a pretty big job for these small pets, but this paw-some team is certified and ready for action.

Also from Nelvana, The Remarkable Mr. King, based on the Kids Can Press picture book series by Montreal author-illustrator Geneviève Côté, premieres Saturday, October 5 at 10:10 a.m. Mr. King is a well-meaning, short sighted little lion who thinks he should know everything, but sometimes his ‘big think’ causes big snags and tangles. If Mr. King tries and fails, he tries again to make things right. Mr. King shows us how to turn mistakes into wins for everyone to share.

More family favourites round out the fall schedule including Season 23 of Thomas & Friends pulling into Treehouse on Sunday, September 8 at 11:50 a.m., and Sesame Street celebrates 50 years and counting. The iconic series’ 50^th season, premiering this fall, focuses on the power of possibilities, empowering kids to take safe risks and learn from their mistakes.

Blue and her crew are back in Blue’s Clues & You!. Premiering in November, beloved puppy Blue invites viewers to join her and the new live-action host, Broadway star Josh Dela Cruz, on a clue-led adventure to solve a daily puzzle. With each signature paw print, Blue identifies clues in her animated world that propel the story and inspires viewers to interact with the action. Blue’s Clues & You! is also available through the Nickelodeon Channel with Amazon Prime Video Channels.
