Octonauts: Above & Beyond is a children's television series that is the successor and spin-off of Octonauts. Produced by Mainframe Studios and Silvergate Media for Netflix, the spin-off series premiered on September 7, 2021. The series follows a similar structure to the original Octonauts series, but is primarily focused on terrestrial creatures and habitats. In addition, to cover this global range of missions, more characters join the crew as main characters in the series.
 A second season made a debut on May 2, 2022. A third season debuted in October on the BBC iPlayer, with an unspecified release date on Netflix.
 The Octonauts, consisting of the Octopod crew and captain, are the recurring main characters.
 These are the Octonauts that were in the original series, including the captain. They are unchanged in Above & Beyond, with the exception of the Vegimals, who all gain new voice actors. Everyone’s previous actors from the original series reprise their roles here. 
 Note: Recent UK editions of the books changed Sauci's name to Dashi to match the television series.[citation needed]
 These are the characters that were added to the Octonauts crew in the series Above & Beyond. They are known as Octo-Agents, friends of the Octonauts who are stationed all over the world. They are experts and adventurers that assist the Octonauts on their new land missions. Paani is the only one so far that made their debut in Above & Beyond; all the others debuted in the original series. All Octonauts and Octo-Agents are able to sound the Octo-Alert via new pieces of equipment called Octo-Watches (except Barnacles, who still has his Octo-Compass, and Tunip).
 Other creatures that were introduced in the original series also make appearances in the series, with some even getting their own episodes. So far the only ones to do so, are The Invasive Species (With the exception of the Burmese Python) Spiny Sue the catfish, and Ronnie, Donnie and Lonnie the Monitor Lizards, from The Great Swamp Search, who all appear in The Monitor Lizards, and Phil the baby flamingo in The Nine Banded Armadillo.
 Phil’s mother Flo, also appears in the same episode as Phil does, however off-screen.
 These are the new vehicles that appear in Above & Beyond, in addition to the vehicles from the original series. These new vehicles specialize in terrestrial missions, and are thus referred to as "Terra-GUPs" (abbreviated as "TG"). All vehicles are equipped with an Octo-Alert.
